Meir Schneider was born blind to deaf parents in 1954 because of congenital cataracts.

After five unsuccessful surgeries on the lenses of his eyes, which left him with massive scar tissue, glaucoma, cataracts, cross-sightedness and more, his doctors pronounced his condition hopeless and he was certified permanently legally blind.

He performed his reading and schoolwork in Braille. Inside, he never relinquished his dream of gaining sight, and you won't believe what happened next.
