In 1993, a car crash took Mary Ann Franco's sight. Twenty-three years later, she tripped over tiles in her kitchen and accidentally got it back.
Franco, a former nurse from Okeechobee, Florida, lost her vision in 1993 after a car accident damaged her spine and she suffered a stroke on the operating table during the emergency surgery that followed.
“Nothing. I couldn't see anything. However hell felt, I felt like I was there," she said.
She refused to let it stop her. For two decades she took up painting, drawing, and skydiving. "So you can't see, so what? Get up and get moving," she said.
In 2016 she tripped on uneven tiles at home and injured her spine again. Surgeons operated to realign her vertebrae.
When she woke up she could see the St. Lucie River from her hospital window. "Out the window, I could see the trees. I could see the houses," she said.
Her first words to the nurse were: "I can't believe this."
Her neurosurgeon Dr. John Afshar called it a true miracle.
His theory is that the original crash kinked an artery restricting blood flow to the part of the brain controlling vision, and the 2016 surgery unknowingly unkinked it. He has never seen it before or since.
Franco had seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren she had hugged and kissed for years but never seen.

He was such a heavy smoker that he would sometimes light up even in the operating room. When ash from his cigarette fell onto the surgical table, he reportedly brushed it off with a joke: “Don’t worry—it’s sterile!”
In the years after World War II, countless Soviet veterans struggled with severe leg injuries that refused to heal. Complicated fractures, chronic infections, and deformities often left physicians with limited treatment options. Working in the city of Kurgan, surgeon Gavriil Ilizarov pursued a radically different idea: that bone could regenerate if it was slowly and carefully pulled apart. During the 1950s, he developed a circular external fixation device made of metal rings and tensioned wires that gradually separated bone segments, stimulating new bone growth in the gap between them.
This breakthrough, later known as distraction osteogenesis, transformed the treatment of complex fractures, limb deformities, and shortened limbs. Although Ilizarov’s work remained largely unknown outside the Soviet Union for decades, it gained worldwide recognition in the 1980s when he successfully treated Italian explorer Carlo Mauri after multiple previous surgeries had failed.
Today, the Ilizarov method is used across the globe and is regarded as one of the most significant innovations in the history of modern orthopedic surgery.
