AbledTV-Mike May-The Challenge Of Seeing Again.mov

If you were blinded at a young age and you were offered a chance, four decades later, to try a risky operation that 'might' restore some of your sight, would you do it? That was the dilemma facing blind downhill skiing legend Mike May who, as with most other things in his life, decided to go for it.

This assistive technology pioneer speaks via Skype with Laura Meddens, Founder and Chairman of The Laura And Wagner Foundation, about the issues he weighed and how he is doing now, ten years after the surgery.

We apologize for the poor quality of the Skype video connection, but we feel the important points that Mike makes outweigh the technical issues. To learn more about Mike's incredible life, please visit

Produced by The Laura And Wagner Foundation as part of its ABLED initiative promote positive recognition of ABLED achievers and to make it easier for persons with sensory, physical, and learning disabilities to use technology for improved learning, employment, mobility and daily living opportunities.
