Gouging victim learns to get around with artificial eyes
Online Edition
A SIX-YEAR-OLD boy whose eyes were gouged out in a horrific attack in August was discharged from the hospital today after recovering from surgery to implant artificial eyes.
The boy, Guo Bin, received the free surgery to have artificial eyes on September 10 at the hospital of Hong Kong-based eye expert Dennis Lam in the southern city of Shenzhen. The artificial eyes do not restore vision.
His father, Guo Zhiping, said the boy is expected to be using a sensory navigation tool by the summer holidays. The photo-shooting device could help the boy sense two-dimensional images, Beijing Youth Daily reported.
The hospital said they may arrange for the boy to go to the United States or Japan to be trained to use the apparatus.
When they return to their hometown in north China’s Shanxi Province, local authorities will help him to find a suitable school, his parents said.
After receiving psychological treatment, Binbin seems to have stepped out of the shadow of the attack’s painful memories. He is healthy and outgoing, officials said. He drew a painting to thank all of the people who helped him and danced at today’s farewell party.
The boy was found covered in blood, with his eyes missing, in a field near his home in Fengxi County in Shanxi on August 24.
Zhang Huiying, 41, the boy’s aunt, was identified by police as the culprit in the attack based on their investigation and DNA test results. She took her own life when she jumped down a well on August 30.
