Doctors and NYUL
going in New York City,
successfully transplanted a whole human eye for the first time.
A
46 year old Oklahoma man suffered severe electrical burns back in May.
He got a new eye as well as a face transplant. Take a
look while he can't see out of the eye just
yet and he may never regain vision on that side.
Doctors are optimistic that the new I might
actually be able to communicate with the brain.
Primary goal of the transplant was to restore the patient's physical appearance.
Doctors have successfully transplanted corn as before
but according to the team at NYU
and going,
this is the first successful transplant of the whole.
