Eyesight is a gift we all possess. But some do not possess this gift, we take eyesight for granted but for blind people, all they want is to get their eyesight back, to see things, to experience things, to watch sun rise, to watch sun set, to watch rain-droplets falling down. In this article, I am going to share some people's reaction on seeing nature's beauty for the first time! At the end, comment down which one was your favorite reaction!

1) The video of the two-year-old's excited reaction on seeing the ocean for the first time!

The excitement of seeing something for the first time is a priceless moment. This video, shared on Twitter, captures such an instance of a two-year-old kid. The sweet video has now won people over. There is a possibility that the clip will leave you with a smile too.

The video is shared on the Twitter handle called GoodNewsCorrespondent. “This boy is blown away by seeing the ocean and the ocean waves for the first time. Innocence!” reads the caption shared along with the video.

The video opens to show the kid expressing his emotions excitedly upon seeing the ocean. A text appearing on the screen explains, “2-year-old reacts to seeing the ocean for the first time.”

Though it is not mentioned where or when the video was captured, the clip is now winning hearts left, right and centre.

Since being shared a few hours ago, the video has gathered more than 8,000 views – and counting. It has also accumulated tons of comments.

“This is me every time I go to the beach. It is my happy face,” wrote a Twitter user. “So adorable! This is what pure joy, pure astonishment looks like,” shared another. “Has the same effect on me, almost every time,” commented a third.

What are your thoughts on the video?

2) Baby leo sees Mommy for the first time!

Four-month-old Leo Reppond was born with oculocutaneous albinism which impacts his hair, skin and eyesight.

His beautiful smile when he finally realises he is seeing his mother properly for the very first time would melt the hardest of hearts.

3) Blind sisters in India see for the first time!

Sonia and Anita, two sisters living in rural India, were both born blind. A simple surgery, costing about $300, could have restored their sight long ago; but their parents, who earn 17 cents an hour planting and harvesting rice by hand, could barely make ends meet.

Though the odds seemed stacked against them, the girls got a happy ending anyway.

Thanks to the efforts of 20/20/20, a nonprofit working to restore vision to blind children and adults in some of the world’s poorest countries, Sonia and Anita were able to undergo that simple surgery on their eyes. When the bandages came off, they saw the world around them for the very first time, and it was captured in a video detailing the sisters’ story.

4) YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson aka Mr.Beast helped treat 1,000 people with blindness and low vision

Jimmy Donaldson — known to his followers as "MrBeast" — shared a video on his YouTube channel on Saturday revealing that he helped 1,000 blind or near-blind people see by paying for their cataract removal surgeries. The video, which was released on Saturday, has amassed 47 millions views as of Monday morning.

The 24-year-old YouTube sensation worked with Jeff Levenson, an ophthalmologist and surgeon based in Jacksonville, Florida, whose Gift of Sight program offers free cataract surgery to people who are legally blind and uninsured. He performed the first round of surgeries for Donaldson.

"More than half of the blindness in the world is caused by cataracts; a 10-minute surgery, at a material cost of less than $100 in resource-poor places, cures it forever," Levenson explains in a statement to PEOPLE.

"In the days and weeks after my own cataract surgery, I was stunned by how bright and beautiful and vivid the world was," Levenson said in an interview with CNN. "But I was shocked by the idea that there are hundreds of millions, probably 200 million people around the world, who are blind or nearly blind from cataracts and who don't have access to the surgery."

5) Blind man sees his wife for first time in 21 years and daughter for first time ever!

This is the emotional moment when a man who has been blind for 21 years sees his wife again for the first time in that period and his daughter for the first time ever. You may need a hankie for this one.
