Blind Dating (2006) Timeline Explained – Every Event in Order

Danny volunteers for the experimental visual prosthesis because he wants to gain sight despite being blind since birth.

He's motivated by the desire to live a fuller life and, particularly, to have a better chance at romantic connection.
