Technologies are getting so advance now, that even the blind can regain their sight again, with a tooth!
A man who had became blind for 12 years after a work accident, underwent a special surgery and is able to see again today.
He was so happy, the first person he wanted to see was his wife whom he had married 4 years ago.
This unique technology, makes use of one tooth, to help hold in place a man made lens to be place in the cornea. It has to be a real tooth and not plastic kind, as the eye may reject a plastic one.
A hole is then cut through the lens and he was able to see again!
It is said this surgery had been done less than 50 times so far in Britain.
So nowadays, even the blind can see again someday! Provided you will have the money to spend on the operation……………
