    What do you mean she is blind without her prosthetics? Isn’t she still blind with the prosthetics or do they help with vision somehow?

      Glasses to help see are prosthetics. People can be legally blind when not wearing their corrective lenses.

      TBH, I’m also not sure what they meant. The only visual prostheses I know of are things like glass eyes. Maybe “prosthesis” is their term for eyeglasses or contact lenses?

      edit: or there are neat things that integrate into your brain to give you sight. So maybe one of those?
