The cataracts act like a curtain
across the window of sight.
:45:04
And if the disease to the retina
:45:06
is reduced or in check, which is
impossible to know at this point,
:45:10
but if that is the case,
using this new procedure,
:45:13
there is a good possibility
we can give you sight.
:45:16
Sounds expensive.
:45:18
Well, there's an opportunity
for all of us here.
:45:21
Not often do we get to restore sight
to someone with extended blindness.
:45:25
I'm sure we can get the lnstitute
to pick up the bill.
:45:28
- I've been through all this before.
- Believe me, I know.
:45:33
But it's nothing as invasive
as what you went through as a child.
:45:37
I mean, uh, 25 years ago,
cataract surgery was in the Dark Ages.
:45:40
We've come a long way since then.
:45:42
And, uh, Dr Goldman here will perform
the surgery. He's one of our best.
:45:48
What if it doesn't work?
:45:50
Well, then you'd be
no worse off than you are now.
:45:55
I mean, basically,
what have you got to lose?
:46:00
So, this is my place.
:46:02
There's a great park around the corner.
We're in TriBeCa.
:46:06
- Ho-ho-ho!
- Sorry.
:46:07
Ethan, watch out.
Hey. This, my friend, is Virgil.
:46:12
- Virgil, Ethan.
- Ethan.
:46:15
- Are you blind?
- Yeah.
:46:17
- Cool. See ya.
- See ya.
:46:20
- Kids think I'm cool.
- You are.
:46:23
OK, here we are.
:46:27
This is my loft.
:46:29
- Can I put this down here?
- Yeah, anywhere. I'll just get it later.
:46:34
OK, can I do some blind 101?
:46:38
You just walk me down the centre
and point out all the obstacles.
:46:42
If you want to move anything,
once you move it, don't move it again.
:46:46
Otherwise, crash.
:46:49
OK, got it.
:46:51
Well, to our right
is the living-room section.
:46:54
There's a couch and some low tables,
and a chair at two o'clock.
:46:58
OK, over here at 10, um, there is a post.
And I've hit this many times, so...
