Blind news...

Could these be two of the most unlikely post-holders we've heard of on Ouch for a while - a blind hairdresser and a blind flight instructor?

According to the , hairdresser Delia Martins Dorego may have lost her sight when her retinas detached while at work one day, but she didn't lose her touch. Check out this - which was carried out as she applied bleach to a customer's hair.

Meanwhile, is reporting the similar, although maybe slightly more high-flying, story of Barry Hulon Hyde, who lost his sight in a plane crash nine years ago. Now 35, ex-pilot Barry is the first blind student to attend Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, hoping one day to become a professor and teach others to fly safely. According to his professor, he's the 'best student I have'.
