If you became blind later in life can you SEE your memories?

Question

Like, are they able to view their memories in their heads from their past or do all the images that are in seeing people's heads just go away?

Know what I mean?

Answer 1

I can't imagine why they would forget what things in their memories looked like.  Those images are stored in the brain and don't rely on the eyes any more.

Answer 2

When you close your eyes do you still remember what things look like? Think about it. I think you have your answer.

Answer 3

I think that it depends how young the person was when they became blind. If they were a child, they wouldn't remember much. If they were older, then they would remember most of their memories.It is in their heads.

Answer 4

Yeah.... I am pretty sure because it doesn't use your eyes. It uses your memory

Answer 5

I would imagine so.  They are (for want of a better way to express this) inside a person's head.  The eyes don't actually see them.
