All Larry Hester wants to do is see his wife’s "beautiful blue eyes."
He can’t do that yet but thanks to a groundbreaking surgery, Larry can now see light for the first time in three decades.
The "bionic eye" was implanted at the Duke University Eye Center in September. In October, Dr. Paul Hahn turned the device on.
"For 30 years, there was no light," Larry told Fox News.
“So even though it's so very minute and small and it's limited, it's significant to me. It means that I can see."
Larry told Steve Doocy there has already been a breakthrough moment. While at home, Hester was able to perceive where his wife's face was.
He told Doocy he reached out and touched it.
"That's simple, but it means so much."
Duke writes Larry is “the seventh person in the United States to receive the visual aid since the device, known as the Argus II Retinal Prosthesis System, was approved by the FDA.”
“Duke is only the fourth center in the country to implant the device since approval."
Jerry Hester says her husband has never complained about his affliction. Instead he’s “just dealt with it and gone on with his life."
