In what can be described as groundbreaking, an 83-year-old blind man was able to see again partly following surgery. In a first-of-its-kind procedure, the entire surface of his blind left eye was transplanted into his blind right one.
The operation happened about two weeks back at Turin's Molinette hospital. The man in question can now see and recognise people and objects around him. He is also able to move around without assistance. His left eye was reconstructed with donor tissue.
