The Mind's Eye (book) The Mind's Eye is a 2010 book by neurologist Oliver Sacks.[1] The book contains case studies of people whose ability to navigate the world visually and communicate with others have been compromised, including the author's own experience with cancer of the eye and his lifelong inability to recognise faces.[2][3] One of the case studies concerns Susan R. Barry, nicknamed "Stereo Sue," whom Sacks wrote about in 2006.
Due to strabismus, she lived without stereoscopic vision for 48 years, but became able to see stereoscopically through vision therapy.[4] Another case study is of the acclaimed concert pianist Lilian Kallir, who suffered from Posterior cortical atrophy yet was surprisingly resilient despite the numerous deficits it caused; the effect on her musical abilities was particularly notable.
