Tanya Vlach, a San Francisco artist who lost her left eye in an accident, wants to replace it with a video system. (Mike Kepka / The Chronicle)
I read that article as I was sitting outside the Starbucks in our neighborhood. I felt like tapping on the strangers next to me and saying, “I know her–she’s my neighbor and friend!” It’s a great article. Your comments about a sense of loss (feeling “less than,” as you put it) after the accident gave me new insights.
I was just looking thru the web and found your site. My girlfriend has also lost her left eye. She used to be a cop and and ex of hers, who was also a cop, shot her in the face and she has lost her left eye totally. She has been looking for a way to replace her eye with a bionic one. Is there anywhere what you have found that has even started on this? I would also love to corrospond with you or anyone that has more information that could help her. My email is Steven.Collins68@gmail.com.
I will have her read your blogs and i am sure you will be an inseration for her.
again thanks for any help that anyone can give us.
