Lisa Reid, from Auckland in New Zealand, hadn’t been able to see since she was 11 years old because of a tumour pressing down on her optic nerve. But at 24 years old, Ms Reid knelt down to kiss her guide dog Ami goodnight – and hit her head against a coffee table.

She went to bed as normal, but the next morning woke up and could see again. "I can't really find words to describe how it felt - amazing, fantastic. You can imagine not being able to see and then you can, you can't really describe that. To see the world again visually is a gift."

Ms Reid, who is now 38, told Daily Mail Australia. She explains one shock she got when she got her sight back was seeing her brother for the first time after 13 years. Next month it will be 14 years since Ms Reid had her sight restored. Doctors say there is no medical explanation for how Reid regained her sight,while some suggest her blindness may have been psychological.

The incident happened in the year 2000, but Ms Reid, who is now a mother, is telling her story now to raise awareness for Blind Week in New Zealand hosted by Blind Foundation charity.... there is nothing special in it. A slap from an average Nigeria soldier would illicit d same effect but it won't make d news.
