his fans dancing at his concerts. He can’t see the hands of his audience as they
applaud wildly at the end of his Superstition.
Blind from birth,
Wonder has waited his whole life for a chance to see. Recently, Wonder visited
Mark Hamayan, a vision specialist. He thought that a new device currently being
studied by Humayan might offer him that chance.
The device, a
retinal prosthesis, is a tiny computer chip implanted inside a patient’s eye.
The chip sends images to the brain and allows some sightless people to see
shapes and colors. Wonder hoped the retinal prosthesis might work for him. "I’ve
always said that if ever there’s possibility of my seeing," said Wonder, "then I
would take the challenge."
Unfortunately for Wonder, that
challenge will have to wait. Humayan explained that the
A. He thought Mark’s device might give him the ability to see.
B. He thought Mark might need his help in developing the device.
C. He thought Mark might want to listen to his Superstition.
D. He thought Mark might implant a chip into his right eye.
