Blind woman in Britain recovers sight after heart attack

Doctors were at a loss to explain how Joyce Urch, who lived in a world of shadows and near darkness since 1979, had recovered her sight after the heart attack 16 months ago, the Daily Telegraph reported.

Urch, who was treated at Walgrave Hospital in Coventry, where doctors spent three days battling to save her life, called it a "miracle," the newspaper said.

The newspaper showed the white-haired Urch, bright eyed and beaming, in the arms of her husband Eric after celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary last weekend.
