[@XnoobSteve]

So Tommy's condition is because of his eyes?

[@wendysslave1965]

+Joe Maloney His eye condition is an underdeveloped optic nerve. Aka the nerve that connects the eyes to the brain. So no, it's not the eye. I think he also has cataracts but that can be removed.

A cure for blind people does exist.

[@josee-annejoly6896]

They are getting very good at restoring hearing! They cannot cure all cases but they can cure a whole bunch of them! Sight is much more difficult to restore because of the mecanism of how the brain perceives an image and fill in everything to make depth perception and everything. It's much more complex, but science is evolving very fast! They already have devices that allow people with certain type of blindness to see, but it's use is quite limited.

[@LarryLynx]

You should try to get your hands on the brainport vision device. It allows you to actually SEE with your tongue. I am not kidding. Very, very low resolution... but still!

[@LarryLynx]

/watch?v=xNkw28fz9u0 It is just very basic monochromatic vision I believe. A lot of videos about it, so it is not made up. The brain can translate any signal to vision if it understands how to. Just like people "echo-locating" actually activate parts of their occipital lobe while doing so (which is associated with sight). However, since the tongue has a very limited amount of sensors, the vision becomes very limited.

[@CroatiaSurvival]

Unidentified Fly Reject It's real. A blind guy climbed a mountain alone.

[@TheonlyHoneyBadger]

Just looked this up. Had NO idea it existed but this is so fucking cool! We should fund more stuff like this!!! I bet within 50 years we will have contact lenses that have cameras or sensors on them that would be able to do the same exact thing as the Brainport in order for the blind to see!

[@garybenson2388]

Yeah becuase of what psychologist call "brain plasticity" the brain developing without the ability to see will adapt accordingly and use the occipital (vision) centers for other functions leaving the original occipital lobe funtions either dead or no longer a vision center. So even if he did regain vision, at his age it's highly unlikely he would ever be able to use it like we do or on the level that we do

The things we take for granted. I'm a bit ashamed to be honest. I don't think people appreciate the little things.

[@andromedaiscoming185]

It's impossible to constantly be in a state of awe and joy, no need to feel guilty about it. Similarly, it's not like Tommy is in a constant state of sadness and disappointment because he can't see, he's used to being blind like we are used to seeing.

[@Andy420]

[@princessmissy50]

Why? He's not dissing anybody with sight. He's just stating the things he would like to see. I hope and pray one day, he will get to see them.

If every subscriber donates an hour of sight he would be able to see for the rest of his life.

At the current amount of subs, if 0.04% of them gave up a day of sight, he could have sight from day 1 to day ~28,000 (the average amount of days in a life)

[@boy638]

One thing I always wondered is that since he is born blind, if the very first thing he saw was a physically attractive naked woman, would he be so weirded out or overwhelmed since everything (including colours) are new to him? Or does his natural instincts come into play and find her completely normal and attractive?

[@alluneedislessthan3]

This makes me so thankful that I can see. Sight is such a gift we don't often think about.

It happens to me, who’s sighted. I could have a hard citrus seed in my food. But then I notice it once it’s in my mouth and spit it out. I’m sure it’s the same for him.

[@jordanhughes5606]

tommy is so pure i wish i could give him my eyes for the rest of his life so he could see all the things he wants to with my vision because i have 20/20

[@awawpogi3036]

Jordan Hughes that's sad because the problem is not his eyes, its his optical nerve. So it will not cure his vision by giving your eyes :(

[@feline57]

That was quite interesting. It made me a bit sad and I must confess a bit ashamed. I think most of us sighted people take sight for granted. We don't always realize how much we have been given with the gift of sight. Thanks Tommy for your perspective on this topic.

[@chumbucket5109]

We really take our sight for granted sometimes. I’m so grateful

[@Keewaf]

Although Tommy does not have sight, he has something a lot of us don't. He has a wonderful personality, a contagious smile and the ability to bring thousands of people together by making insightful videos.

[@youtubeaccount2801]

So is there not like some modern medicine or operation to regain the ability for Tommy to see?

[@_JoyceArt]

From what i have read and heard in other videos, unfortunately no.

[@BeastLT]

Is the visual cortex developed in his brain? If so, it's definitely possible and already is being done by the Orion I program.

[@xomyakify]

KZbin Account there are eye balls that you put in yourself and be able to see

[@dooplon5083]

KZbin Account You can't regain what you were born not having.

[@micahphilson]

He mentioned a couple times a surgery that could actually repair I believe it was his optic nerve that wasn't developed or something, it's been a long while since he brought it up. However, he didn't want to undergo that surgery, and the only reason I can remember is that it was just as likely as not to go wrong, and if it failed, it would make him permanently blind with no chance of fixing it. If my memory is right, and that's the case, then I don't see why he wouldn't undergo it since he has nothing to lose in the first place but the money it'd cost, but it's his choice, and probably the right one for reasons he has or may not have said.

[@peprmnt]

[@davidnjara]

Tommy, I understand this may be an inappropriate question, but have you ever considered trying the psychedelic substance DMT? I have read some reports (as have you, I'm pretty sure) that blind since birth people actually "see" something under the influence. They might not make sense of it, but they really DO. And I'm pretty sure people have already suggested that. But still, think about it.

[@JarvisPatterson01]

I don’t think he has ever read any reports on it but he has maybe heard some.

[@carrots667]

He doesn't even know what human beings look like. It would probably be terrifying if you really think about it. We are basically aliens to him.

[@Odysseus1999]

I think he’d probably freak out. Too much information for him and his brain to take in for such a small amount of time. You see people who are colorblind see color for the first time with Enchroma and they just can’t help but cry. You have to think he’s been blind for so long it would almost be scary for him to experience these things.
