If your blind....

[RyanDOT]

can you have an operation to get your sight back? If so how much?

Im just wonderin'.

[efq]

I believe its possible or in the making in the next 2-4 years. I saw a documentry but I cant remember It was to like put light in the eye. its simple really. There will be a way soon.

And why, are you partly blind?

[Plank]

Depends what is wrong with your eyes to cause you to be blind.

[Loqo]

Mikey on Big Brother was saying the other day that in 30 years it would be possible for him to get his sight back. I could imagine it to be expensive also. Why anyway? You must be worrying about something to ask the question.

[stephen008]

That would be so weird being able to see after being blind for so long

[spareparts]

I guess it depends how bad it is because you have operations so you don't need glasses anymore so I guess they can do something to make your sight better if your going blind or something.

[Technologic]

Why, are you blind?

[Ashley]

Well it costs from £395 per eye to get your sight back from wearing glasses (according to the laser eye treatment advert), so I imagine it would be very expensive to restore your sight from being blind.

Im just wondering, because if Mikey from Big Brother won, i would of thought he would spend the money to regain his sight back.
My eyes are fine....

You can get eye transplants, but there is a huge waiting list, and it costs a hell of a lot.

[Con]

Depends on how blind you are,
What type of blindness you have (e.g if it's your actually eye or something)
adno. or part of the brain noth functioning right *knows nothing about eyes+brains*

But yeh, I think it is being developed and would probably cost LOADS.

Watch They Eye ;)

[buttons]

it shouldn't be so expensive to get your sight back. sight is important to you + should be given free so if it was possible i'm sure people would get treated for it so i doubt it.

[stephen008]

99.9% chance they would charge for it

First time I have heard of that. Their shouldn't be a waiting list for that. Kinda sad.

With the NHS Donor Scheme you tick the organs or parts you want to donate if anything ever happens to you, and the sad fact is that not a lot of people tick "eyes". I know I didnt :(! Everything but! So because there is an extreme shortage of people actually wanting to donate the parts, there ends up being a huge waiting list. But eye transplants are possible!

[Misawa]

Watch They Eye ;)

Don't. It's an awful remake.

I see. I'll tick my eyes. It aint like am going to be using them in my coffin. :)

There was this woman on the news who was blind but then she had a heart attack and got her sight back..

lol ill take.. that one :P Ahah you could have like a blue eye and a green eye :o! Wow.. I want one ^^ tehe

Umm..it's supposed to be possible within the next few years isnt it?

[RyanDOT]

I think people should donate their eyes when they die.
But i would hate doing the surgery, because it be quite scary and tense.

You can get programs that read text on the page you know ;)

And yes i have heard of eye transplants but as sam said not many donate eyes.

Actually... you can get programs that help blind people browse the web etc...

You see the lines on the bottom of your J and F keys that stick out? That helps blind people type :P

Any as said, not many people donate them and so when they do, they cost a lot of money on a huge waiting list.

Why the **** would any blind man use Habbo, or Habbox for that matter?

[stephen008]

You have a point lol if I was blind I wouldn't bother with habbo or a habbo fansite

[tdi]

you can't have an operation to gain sight if you're blind.

[Hayd93]

Why the heck do you go on habbox ? Its the same reason just because there blind what bloody differance does that make.

are you blind through your nose ;S

what about that 0.1% ;)

[alexxxxx]

The NHS would provide it free if there was an operation to repair your eye so you can see.

No they wouldn't, there’s a pill that the NHS has just got rid of because of the cat, it can help prevent the loss of sight from some sort of disease, don't have a clue what it’s called it was on the news the other month and people were having to pay £1000s for the pills.

I guess that if there is a big enough of a public outcry they would have no choice.

I thought the J & F keys were 'bumped' (that sounds kinda wrong lol) because they show the home row keys (asdfghjkl;) for touch-typing?

My mum is partially sighted and has a Magnification and Voice program called ZoomText which costed her about £600, double the amount of my PC (even with an upgrade to Vista Ultimate it'll be less). She might donate organs (other than her eyes, obviously), my Dad probably won't because he has arthritus, I might (my eyes work) and my sister won't (for no apparent reason). That's unless if the world ends..... Oooooohhhh..... Sorry.

Erm not really.

Oh thats pathetic. Habbox is only known from Habbo, so why would any blind man find Habbox without Habbo and decide to sign up he knows nothing about. W/e man, im gone

[e5]

Why, are you blind?
Thats probably the most STUPID question that's ever been asked on the internet which almost intirely depends on your eyes.

He could have tunnel vision or something else that weakens your vision. I'm short sighted.

[Kevin]

I belive there is somthing along the lines, where they can beam an image into your eye, but its only a temp thing, once the machine is switched off, your back to seeing nothing

Rather to be blind from the start
than to have vision and have lost my sight.

Yh rly

[Havoline]

Im sure I remember seeing on tele or hearing on the radio that they've made something that will capture light for you and send messages to your brain which allows you to see. Dunno if that was a permanent thing someone can have in their eye or not though.
