To See or Not To See

Abstract: This 5 page paper outlines Oliver Sack's essay "To See or Not To See," with a focus on the way he strips away a myth, namely that to regain your vision, when you have been blind for years, is to regain a capacity to understand what you see. Specifically, this essay considers whether the subject of Sack's essay, Virgil, was well advised to have eye surgery that resulted in the regaining of his vision, and whether the outcome of this surgery was successful. No additional sources cited.
