2Eyetooth implanted in eye
Martin Jones, an Englishman, lost his power of vision and remained blind for almost a decade. However, he has now regained his sight. This has been accomplished by implanting a piece of tooth in his eye. The tooth that was implanted was a canine tooth which is also known as the “eyetooth” and it was pulled out of Martin Jones’ own mouth. They then placed a man-made eye lens into its base and placed it under the lid of his eye, allowing the tissue to grow over the canine. Also, a flap of his skin was taken from his mouth and implanted over the tooth in his eye which later had access to its own supply of blood. The doctors then cut a hole in the cornea that permitted light to enter the eye. This procedure has given six hundred people the power of vision.
