The Third Eye: How to See in the Absence of Light | Katarina Stephan | TEDxColumbiaUniversity
In this motivational talk, Katarina Stephan delves into her world as someone who is visually impaired. Even with this disability Stephan has triumphed through life as a student, ballerina, and EMT personnel, and she is only 20 years old. With full forces ahead she aspires to be the world's first visually impaired surgeon. Katarina Stephan was born with persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous, a congenital anomaly of the eye which ultimately led to the surgical removal of her left eye. Today, she has no vision in this eye and wears a prosthesis for cosmetic purposes. Two years ago, she trained with the Salzburg Ballet Company, a professional ballet company in Austria. Shortly after, she returned to America and worked as a teaching assistant in cardiothoracic surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine for the Cardiothoracic Surgical Skills Internship. She is currently majoring in Neuroscience and Behavior as a premedical student at Columbia University in the City of New York. She enjoys spending her free time as an Emergency Medical Technician with Columbia University Emergency Medical Services (CU-EMS) and providing user interface for visual prostheses that have the capacity to restore vision to the blind. Katarina dreams of becoming a one-eyed surgeon. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

I have been blind in my left eye since birth. I do have vision in my right eye and I have been able to do everything I need to do with the vision in my right eye. I even drive and have since I was 20 years old and now I'm 76.

I served in the British parachute regiment for 10 years, in three war zones including northern Ireland but this young lady somehow makes me feel inadequate. She is truly awe inspiring 👏

Wow, what an inspiration. She was certainly brought to this life to be an example and to teach us all. Thank you Katarina.
What a remarkable journey and story, in addition to the information you have provided here. You are an amazing and strong individual, and I applaud your efforts to succeed in life, and never believe what doctors' prognosis dictate. This information is spot-on to the studies I have conducted as a novice in how the other senses kick-in when we lose some or all of one. Thank you, and much success young lady!!!!
True sight is a working of art and is not given to all because “we have have already seen”. Your depth is insightful not only on this subject though many other understandings. You are brilliant thank you we needed this
The power of the individual is spectacular. Get busy workin' and lovin' life. It's beautiful here in the moment.
Beautifully heart spoken and neuroscientifically inspirational. Thank You!
Very inspirational. What we visualise, we realise.
Her story is incredible, it is a motivation for many .
Truly remarkable what a form of inspiration you are! 👏🙏🌅 After having surgery to remove a rare brain tumour on my hindbrain cerebellum 13yrs ago, this has altered my vision in a way that Ive always allowed it to become an issue. On seeing this talk its furthered my interest in opening my third eye, thank you in being brave & sharing this info xxx
Thx for enlightening us. You became this light yourself. Very touching.
What a remarkable lady she is. She is going to make a difference in this world. Wow she is amazing 💗
A Gateway to understand the yet unexplored human potential. Many thanks!!
Go Katarina! Very inspiring! I'm excited to see all that you will achieve :)
Wow! Phenomenal..Our body is perfect and can adjust to compromise...thank you thank you thank you
Fascinating and inspiring!!
She is amazing. An inspiration.
Wow what an inspiration. Only when you are able to feel (not see) the light you can uplift anybody. I saw a KZread about Art of Living where they went to a blind school to uplift and train children to read plain books and feel colours in the book. It was incredible how children in about 3/4 weeks time picked up these skills. It was really eye opening..
Fascinating... now I have to re-watch it to try and get it...
She was also blessed with a Beautiful Soul.

We all have lazy eyes. 😜
This is a great example of shifting the input data we have to compensate for any shortcoming. We are actually a lot more versatile than we think. We're just lazy.
Opening the third eye is not that difficult it's just a level of meditation that need to be attain though concentration. The main problem is the society, the stress at work, the poison in daily food that will make you sick and temptation of money and technologies. Society have everything to keep you away from a peaceful mind both physically and mentally.

Yes. The mind is the body and the mind controls what the body does if the mind thinks that it happens the body follows in suit once you realize that the mind controls all that there is in reality you control everything
👏👏👏👏👏
Crazy Beautiful
Great.
Smart and beautiful. Bombshell 💘 😻
Is the third eye like the triple flare?
I kept myself from commenting that "she's really beautiful" because of the many similar comments. But I don't know what it is about her that I find her extremely attractive.

Damn. Came here by chance. I see from one eye. My whole life. My left eye is just eye sees peripheral vision. My son was born the same. He's 14. I'll try the tilt thing. I've bought and tried so many vr gaming rigs. Ps4 vr..none give me the sense i got one time in my life that blew my mind. I got in my car and rubbed my good eye and as it was clearing up, I looked at the steering wheel and saw it in 3d(with both eyes). I cried. Couldn't help it. I'm soo jealous of normal vision. However, I've always been good at baseball,football, and basketball. Not sure if my vision affects it.. I see super good out of my good eye.
Cliffnote: body and mind connection makes another sensory space.
Its really weird that I have been in every situation u could possibly imagine (no-one has killed me yet...) I get bit constantly but they all get fed exactly as they ask. Everyone has "intuition" It's described as HUMAN NATURE It's not a privilege; it's not to be abused; it's not a gift to us. It's our debt to the ones that sacrificed them selves to provide our way. Grace everyone for they're in his image. No-one is alone in sin.
hmm, i tried the eye closed thing and touched middle fingers without any problem - does this make me special?

Great body language
Awesome - keep shining:-)
The eyes are just lenses. You do not need then to reach higher levels of conciousness. The third eye, or pineal gland, is what does that for you.

Ha! Yeah. I figure our lack of visualization is compensated for in other ways. Maybe with heightened instinct/intuition. I'm a very creative, artistic person, but I don't think things up in my mind. It seems to come from somewhere else.
