The doctor led Astros into the small room and sat him in the observation seat in the far corner. There was an air of anxiety as Astros felt the seat he was supposed to sit in. Everything was supposed to change today. He still had his doubts though. The suit that they fitted him with just felt like a second skin and as he walked around with nothing but the suit, he felt entirely naked. The doctor assured him that he wasn’t.<br/>“So are you ready to remove the head wraps? The doctor asked. Astros could hear the smile on his face.<br/>Astros just nodded in response. The doctor approached and began unraveling the cloth that was covering his eyes. As the cloth was coming undone he could see small amounts of brightness, followed actual light, then the whole room came into view. There was a sensation of vertigo as Astros adjusted to the new vision.<br/>“We’ve never dealt with a fully blind client before.” The doctor said matter of factly. “We’re not really sure what to expect. Do you mind telling me what you feel?”<br/>Astros took a minute to evaluate his current state of being. “Vertigo.” He paused for a moment. “And a headache.”<br/>“As was expected. Your eyes have not seen in over 2 years. It makes sense that your mind would be a little overwhelmed. The suit should help your mind construct new neural pathways in very little time however.” The doctor walked over to a desk and pulled out a box. “Now we’re going to do some basic hand-eye coordination tests. As well as test light sensitivity and test your visual interpretation ability.” He pulled out a small pen light from his breast pocket. “First thing’s first. Light sensitivity. Just follow this please.”<br/>The doctor began shining the light in front of his face and moved it to the left. Astros followed slowly. He moved it to the right and then up. Again Astros followed, a little faster this time. This went on for another minute or so and by the end of it it seemed Astros could almost predict where the light would go with how fast his eyes could follow.<br/>“Very good.” The doctor shined the light directly into his eyes and noticed the pupils dialate quickly. “Light sensitivity looks great. It looks like with the suit your eyes will be practically unphased by illumination change. Now we’re going to test visual interpretation.” He pulled a few items from a box. “Now just tell me the shape and color.”<br/>The doctor held out a small blue circular object. “Blue circle.” Astros said after a moment of intense concentration. The doctor then pulled out a green triangle. “Green triangle.” This time the response was faster. The doctor took out a yellow square and a purple octagon and Astros named them both in seconds.<br/>“Remarkable. You’re improving faster then we anticipated.” The doctor put the shapes back and pulled out a ball. “Now for hand-eye coordination.” The doctor first held out the ball. “Take it from my hand.” Astros reached out, his hand going a little far to the right but after a few seconds he was able to adjust. He grabbed the ball. “Very good. Now toss it back to me.” Astros did so, but it went a little wide and bounced off the wall. The doctor picked the ball back up and held it out for Astros to take. He grabbed it with ease this time and tossed it back fairly accurately. “Nicely done. Now let’s see if you can catch it.” The doctor tossed it underhand for Astros to catch. He managed to catch it the first time. “Excellent!” The doctor walked over to the door that led into the hall. “Want to be daring?”<br/>Astros stood up, looking down and observing his suit for the first time. “What do you mean?”<br/>“”Let’s see how well your reflexes are now.” The doctor said walking out into the hall way. “Now run down and catch this.”<br/>Astros walked into the hallway and peered from one end of it to the other. He bolted down toward the left end. He dodged around people and chairs and he peered back. The doctor let go of the ball as he looked back. Astros stopped and raised his arm and caught the ball as it almost flew over head.
