Virgil went blind when he was three. A specialist in eye treatment suggested that, with surgery, he could restore his sight. He decides to give the operation a try. The doctor removes the bandages and Virgil slowly opens his eyes. He looks around the room. The operation is a success. He can see again. There were no mirrors in the room but he knew what he looked like.

There could be plenty of pictures on the wall documenting the preparation of the operation and a video running that shows the actual operation.
 
or
 
Before the operation, the surgeon told him he would look like Frankenstein, but with beautiful blue eyes.
 
or
 
The surgery consisted in installing an implant that projects a video image on the retina.  The camera is currently sitting on a table and aimed at Virgil.
