It's 2023 now. Lynley Hood is 80 years old. She is a writer. One night, 12 years ago, she was reading a book. A few minutes later, she couldn’t see clearly. She thought she was too tired, so she went to bed. The next morning, she still couldn’t use her eyes well. She went to the hospital. The doctor said she had glaucoma (青光眼). After that, she couldn’t read or write.

In 2020, Lynley Hood fell. She was hurt. To fight with the hurt, she took part in electrical stimulation sessions (电刺激疗程). After four weeks of electrical stimulation, she found she could see the world.

Now she can see again. She goes back to writing.
