A monthly series in which Outside Broadcast and film cameras tell how one incident can change one person's life.

For over fifty years Sidney Herbert Bradford was blind; then thanks to a corneal graft operation, he could see.
Tonight at a School of the Birmingham Royal Institution for the Blind, which trained him, he explains to Hywel Davies how boys and girls learn to face blindness without fear, and why he himself is more scared of seeing than he ever was of being blind.
Film sequences by the BBC Film Unit, Scotland
