Woman regains sight after cataract operation in Germantown
In Philadelphia a 60 year old blind woman, Mrs Warrier Holmes of Center street Germantown, had cataract removed by Gradi's method. Restored vision surprised her as she first saw sparrows and a watch, then chairs and tables, though distances puzzled her. She described colors becoming familiar and noted lamp glare sparked fear before night.
