BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: Good story here now. A family from El Salvador celebrating the gift of a lifetime, the gift of sight for three young brothers.</s>DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: Dave Nethers of our affiliate WJW has more on the story of William, Oscar and Jose.</s>DAVE NETHERS, WJW REPORTER (voice-over): Playing outdoors in the sunlight, three Salvadoran brothers for the first time can see well enough to ride a bike, distinguish color, shapes, can see well enough to kick a ball. But after sight restoring vision, the first thing little William saw was his mother.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She felt so happy inside. She felt so happy inside, A lot of emotions.</s>RALPH CORDERO, EYE DOCTOR: For me, it was just such an exciting thing when we where in there, and William, for the first time, he saw his mom in a brand new way.</s>NETHERS: Doctor Ralph Cordero first examined the brothers in their home country, but could do nothing for them there. All three suffer from congenital cataracts, which leaves the lens of their eyes cloudy. A local priest help organize the family's trip to America, where soon after undergoing cataracts surgery in Lorraine they were already exploring their new world.</s>CORDERO: As we were coming down in the car, all he kept doing was just describing everything he saw.</s>NETHERS (on camera): What do you think about when you see your children recognizing things that they could not see before?</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She feels happy a lot of hope. Because before they didn't see, almost nothing.</s>NETHERS (voice-over): The boys' vision should gradually improve even more, and along with it, their confidence, their motor skills, their lives. Out of the cloudiness of cataracts, literally, a silver lining.</s>KAGAN: Nice story, a nice way to end our hour.</s>HEMMER: WJW with that story.
