- Summary
- COI synopsis: Mr Jackson had perfect sight but he had lost control of the muscle that opens the eye. A London surgeon allowed reporter Marion Foster and ‘Tomorrow Today’ cameras into the operating theatre to film while he placed a small piece of metal in Mr Jackson’s eyelid. In the studio, two weeks later, Mr Jackson puts on a specially magnetised pair of spectacles over his closed eye and immediately his eyes open.
