It is reported that after the loss of vision due to severe corneal disease eyes, doctors offered the woman an innovative approach.
The patient was firstly removed a healthy tooth. From it, a plate with a hole was made, where an artificial cornea was inserted. Then the design was implanted under the skin of the patient for 2-4 months. In the second stage, the doctors pulled out the «dental cornea» together with the vessels from the woman’s cheek, cleaned the damaged eye, removing some intraocular structures from it, and transplanted the resulting structure into the orbit. Soon the patient began to see.

«This operation is intended for patients who have completely lost their eyesight, with severe corneal diseases that cannot be transplanted from the donor. This is a very long, complex and dangerous process, but in most cases the results are stunning. We have returned Tzipi Balila her sight, and it’s worth all the time spent on training, careful preparation, time», said ophthalmologist Eitan Livni, who conducted the operation.
