    I wonder Toph can retain her sensitivities intact if she somehow regains her eyesight?

      She'd probably be disoriented by vision at first and ultimately could just blindfold herself.
      Aang could achieve the radar sense and presumably so can all Metalbenders so she'd definitiely maintain her abilities.

    Could it really heal a natal defect like Toph's blindness rather than violent injury?

      She couldn't at least fricking try?

        Maybe she was afraid that Toph being able to see would make her weaker.

          Toph is definitely the girl who would blind herself again if being able to see hinders her abilities

        Probably not. Seems like the water Katara had on her was a one use only thing. Though why the group didn't try to get more of it I have no idea. It also didn't seem like Toph was that beat up over her blindness so I don't think Katara would believe it a priority to fix Toph's vision and would rather keep it for a potential emergency.

          They'd have to fly back and grab more. You'd can only get it at the one pond in the northern water tribe.

            They could just send a hawk to the Norther tribe with a note saying "more water" and have them fill a vial, tie it to the hawk's leg and send it back.

      If you're using magic in place of knowledge and technology, you're already a step behind the human body. The damn thing WANTS to break down.
      You can't heal eyes that are working 100% properly just because they arn't transmitting sight.
      I do think they should have at least tried. They would have had to leave Toph blind, since that's her whole shtick, wishing doesn't make something come true, be who you are, etc. You are not in control of a harsh world is a good lesson for children, which is why being nice to each other is so important.

        Toph has cataracts. Can the magic water remove cloudiness in the lenses?

          I know her eyes are depicted as cataracts but I always assumed that was just because it immediately made it noticeable from a design standpoint and not that that was the actual reason she was blind, since cataracts have been treated since antiquity in real life without bending and the Avatar world is literally on the verge of (or already in) its industrial revolution.

    The craziest thing about Katara's magic water is there there's an infinite amount of it. You literally just need to go and get it out of the Koi Fishes pond.

    How do you know she didn't and it didn't work?

    How do you know that she didn't suggest it and have Toph refuse?

    Both of those things are pretty reasonable assumption but god forbid you have any kind of independent thought when watching something.

      They CAN heal Demo's eye. It's just not worth it because it keeps getting haunted.

      I love how you got three separate responses all explaining the scene. TF2 can truly bring a board together.

    I wonder if Toph gaining vision would've made her a worse fighter. Avatar makes it clear Toph's strength comes from her paying attention to details nobody else can, like sensing impurities in metal to bend it, which was a feat long considered impossible that revolutionized the world. I know in LOK Toph's daughters can see and sense, but they only ever sense when they need to track someone, and not as part of combat, which I always found a shame.

    How do you know it can cure ANYTHING? It wasn't tested on everything. Maybe it just cures many things.

    Because that would make Toph significantly harder to molest.

        Not with a thought exactly, bending requires some level of motion.
