A 37-year-old German woman who suffered from dissociative identity disorder (DID) and had also been diagnosed with cortical blindness suddenly regained the ability to see after more than 15 years in the dark. But unfortunately only some of her personalities were able to make use of her eyes.
The woman, who is only named as “B.T.,” suffered a traumatic accident as a younger woman leading her to be diagnosed with cortical blindness. Cortical blindness is caused when the parts of the brain responsible for processing vision are damaged, this means that, while the eyes are technically still functioning, the individual can’t see due to issues with their brain.
