The London Trimox reports Rev. James Boulton aged 93 has regained sight after five years of blindness due to cataract. One eye was operated on, the other left untouched. He recalls childhood memories vividly and describes a return to life like birth, weeping at green fields on first view. A blind nun, aged 70, wrote for advice after a failed second-op blindness relapse.
