There Plant Eyes probes the ways in which blindness has shaped our ocularcentric culture, challenging deeply ingrained ideas about what it means to be “blind”. For millennia, blindness has been used to signify such things as thoughtlessness (“blind faith”), irrationality (“blind rage”), and unconsciousness (“blind evolution”). But at the same time, blind people have been othered as the recipients of special powers as compensation for lost sight (from the poetic gifts of John Milton to the heightened senses of the comic book hero Daredevil).

An incredibly perfect collaboration of historical and modern perspectives on blindness. This book should be required reading for everyone to discover the hidden truths about blindness! read and you will learn being or becoming blind is not the death sentence humanity has been taught. as I learned firsthand, living a rich life with vision loss myself. The author gets it right and reveals the truths about fearing, interacting with, or becoming blind. Great reference before portraying a blind person in creative works. Terrific for trivia, facts and myth-busting. Finally — a book on blindness I can refer to for facts, old and new

At the age of four, Dr. Lise Deguire suffered third-degree burns on 65 percent of her body as the result of both maternal and corporate negligence. Against the odds, she lived through the trauma, beginning decades of treatment as a burn survivor. Some chapters of this gripping journey focus on early events, including the story of the fire, her years of painful surgeries in the hospital, social isolation, and bullying.
