    This is sounds like medieval pseudo science medicine but is actually pretty impressive

    The article did a good job answering questions. Also strongly reminded me that I would have been a horrible surgeon or doctor after looking at those photos.

    It’s crazy that we can restore vision with the most advanced laser technology… or by putting a lens inside someone’s tooth, then rigging that up into their eye socket!

    I remember reading about the possibility of this in a middle school prep book a couple decades ago. Its amazing that it’s finally real.

      I mean your not scratching your eyeballs and they do a good job keeping stuff out. Have you ever scratched your lens? I know people who have and it’s irritating.

        yeah but sometimes stuff gets in, though I guess without an eyelid that may not be an issue
