His other senses were highly developed, and Todd was fully able to work as a nurses assistant in Kent, Ohio. His friends and family had always been completely supportive of him, but Todd still wanted to see the faces of his wife and children.

Todd's story caught the attention of a tv show called "The Miracle Workers." This show, created by David Garfinkle and Jay Renfroe of Renegade 83 Entertainment, teamed expert doctors with patients who needed the right resources for their treatment. Dr. Holland, an opthalmologist, professor of ophthalmology at the University of Cincinnati and director of Cornea Services at the Cincinnati Eye Institute, was brought on-board to examine Todd's case.

Dr. Holland proposed a revolutionary two-part operation, where he would extract stem cells from a live donor and combine them with corneal stem cells from a cadaver's eye. He would then insert them into Todd's damaged eye.

However, despite the success of both operations, Todd's cornea was too damaged to allow him to see. Everyone felt the shock and disappointment of the failed operation, but Dr. Holland had another idea: a full corneal transplant.

Many people have benefited from the resources that "Miracle Workers" provided. The show offered solutions to impossible problems, and gave hope and inspiration to those who had a lower quality of life due to their physical obstacles.
