波兰盲人被车撞后重新恢复视力
一名据称失明二十年的波兰男子在过马路时被汽车撞倒后，居然奇迹般地恢复了视力。
直到几年前，来自波兰城市Gorzow Wielkopolski的Janusz Goraj左眼还完全失明，只能依靠右眼辨别阴影与光线。作为严重过敏的副作用之一，他在20年前失去了视力，并习惯了在几乎完全黑暗的环境中生活下去。
但是在2018年的一天，奇迹突然发生了。Janusz正在人行横道上过马路时，遭到了一辆汽车的猛烈撞击。他的头先是撞在汽车引擎盖上，随后又在摔倒时撞到了沥青地上。更糟糕的是，他还撞坏了臀部，最终需要进行手术。但他当时可没想到，自己会就此因祸得福。
事故发生后，Janusz在医院接受髋关节手术后休养了几周，有一天他起床并睁开眼睛时，惊讶地看到了比平时更多的阴影和昏暗的光线。他发现自己看到的事物比事故之前要清晰得多了，并将此事告诉了自己的医生。然而，无人能够解释为什么会这样。
医院发言人Agnieszka Wisniewska告诉Polsat News：“他的视力确实在两周内得到了改善。我们不太清楚是什么原因造成的，也许是因为他在这段时间里服用的各种药物”。
Janusz告诉Gorzovianin：当我躺在医院的病床上时，再次看清楚事物令我欣喜无比。医生对我的视力改善感到惊讶，但却无法作出解释。当我离开医院时，我能看到街上的行人，可以看到汽车的车牌号码，也可以阅读手机上的文字。我的生活发生了改变！”
Janusz的离奇经历最初被报道于2018年，但直到上个月末被主流新闻网站报道后才引起关注。到目前为止，还没有人确切知道是什么原因导致他恢复了视力，但是据一些医学专家推测：这与事故本身无关，而是与大量抗凝剂与其他药物的混合有关。
虽然Janusz拒绝参加有助于医生解开他那奇迹般的视力恢复之谜的医学研究，但据Polsat News报道，他如今已经过上正常人的生活，并且就在他恢复视力的那家医院获得了保安这份工作。

Blind Man Allegedly Regains Eye Sight After Being Hit by Car
A Polish man who was allegedly blind for twenty years, miraculously recovered his vision after being hit by a car while crossing the street.
Until a couple of years ago, Janusz Goraj, from the city of Gorzow Wielkopolski, was completely blind in his left eye, and could only discern shadows and light with his right one. He had lost his eyesight 20 years ago, as a side-effect of severe allergies, and had become accustomed to living in almost total darkness. But one day in 2018, a miracle happened. Janusz was crossing the street on a crosswalk when he was violently hit by a car. He hit his head on the car’s hood as well as on the asphalt as he fell. To make matters worse, he also damaged his hip, and ended up needing surgery on it. But little did he know that the accident was a blessing in disguise.

After the accident, Janusz Goraj spent a couple of weeks in the hospital to recuperate after the hip surgery, and one day he got up, opened his eyes and was shocked to see more than the usual shadows and faint lights. He started seeing things much clearer than before the accident, and told his doctors about it too. However, no could explain why it happened.
“His eyesight did improve within two weeks. We don’t quite know what caused it, maybe the mix of drugs he was getting during that time,” Agnieszka Wisniewska, a spokesperson for the Independent Public Provincial Hospital, told Polsat News.
Goraj’s bizarre case was originally reported in 2018, but it only gained attention after being features by a major news site late last month. To this day, no one knows exactly what caused the man’s vision to return, but some medical experts speculate that it had nothing to do with the accident itself, but rather with the large doses of anticoagulants mixed with other medicines.
As I lay on the hospital bed, the joy that I could see well again was amazing, Janusz told Gorzovianin. The doctors were surprised by my improved vision but couldn’t explain it. When I left the hospital, I saw people on the street, I could see car registration numbers or just read the text on my phone. My life changed!”
Janusz Goraj has refused to take part in medical studies to help doctors solve the riddle of his miraculous eye-sight, but according to Polsat News, he has been able to lead a normal life, and actually got a job as a security guard at the very hospital where he regained his eyesight.
“We don’t know if he specifically asked for the job or if it’s just a coincidence, but he is working here with us,” Wisniewska told reporters.
