Robert Bitts, blinded in 1956, had a prosthetic plastic lens implanted June 4 at Mt. Zion Hospital.

The math teacher from Littleton, Colorado described the emotional moment and reflected on how facial recognition differs from general shapes. He met his wife at a 1967 youth conference and married four years later.
