Second Sight: A Love Story is a 1984 Tv film, which starred Petrocelli's Barry Newman, and Bewitched's Elizabeth Montgomery. The film is based on the novel Emma and I by Sheila Hocken.
[edit] Plot
A self-sufficient stubborn independent blind woman named Alaxandra McKay (Montgomery), who has been blind for over 20 years, finally agrees to acquire a guide dog. She is worried that people will try to get close to her out of pity, so she distances herself emotionally from everyone, but becomes attached to her seeing-eye golden Labrador Retriever companion Emma.
She meets Richard Chapman (Newman), who eventually becomes her boyfriend, and the new romance begins to pull Alaxandra out of her shell. When the opportunity arises for a delicate operation that may restore her sight, Alaxandra is alternately elated and scared. Richard convinces Alaxandra to attempt the operation.
