After two decades of being blind, Mary Ann Franco fell over, hit her head, and regained her sight.
WPBF explained that before the car accident Franco was also color blind, but after her recent surgery her vision has been fully restored in every possible way.
Franco instantly realized that after 20 years of darkness, she could suddenly see. “I was the happiest woman in the world. It was wonderful. Everyone came in and said: ‘You’re the miracle lady.’”
Because of her miracle, Franco can now enjoy the sight of her family, her home, and her cat and dog.
Though Afsar does not have an explanation, he does have a theory as to how it possibly happened.
When Franco had her first accident and subsequent surgery, the ordeal could have accidentally restricted blood flow to an artery that affects the part of her brain that controls her vision.
“It could have been a result of the artery being kinked, and then when we performed the surgery itself, we unknowingly probably unkinked that vessel reestablishing blood flow and, therefore, she could have regained her vision,” he explained ABC News.
Franco is grateful for the restoration of her sight and is not taking anything for granted.
She shared her new daily routine with Metro. “In the mornings, I get up, and I look out here and the sun is coming through the trees, and the beams [are] coming down. ‘Oh, God, it’s so wonderful to see.”
