Bedtime kiss with a guide dog triggers a medical miracle of sight

Lisa Reid, who lost her sight at 11 due to a cancerous brain tumor, lived 13 years blind before a clumsy night-time fall—hitting her head on a coffee table while kissing her guide dog Ami—that incident coincided with a partial restoration of her vision. She woke up the next morning to sight she hadn’t had in years, a phenomenon doctors can’t explain, and later spoke publicly to raise awareness for Blind Week in New Zealand.
