Your Tooth Is Stuck In My Eyeball

Ian Tibbetts, 43, first damaged his eye 16 years ago when a piece of scrap metal from an oven struck him in the right eye - ripping his cornea in six places.

So what do you do with your eye wound, shove a freakin tooth in it

Quote
The procedure - called Osteo-Odonto-Keratoprosthesis (OOKP) - involves the reconstruction of a new eye using a tiny plastic lens and one of the patient's own teeth.

 The lens is inserted into a hole drilled through the tooth, which is later implanted in the eye.

 And as long as the retina is still functioning, the lens then provides a new window through which the patient is able to see.

So tempted to claim that those pictures are shooped.

I dare to say that the medical procedure reminds me of a hack, but I digress. So long as it works without future complications. If only stem cell research was not crippled, should have been able to grow him a new eye by now.

Despite knowing about indoctrination I thought it was a good idea to put a human Reaper near my office. Now I am a sentient husk :(.

Wow, are those photos uncomfortable to look at. Good for him though, getting to properly see his kids for the first time.

So happy for him, but I hope they have given him a contact lens with a colored iris imprint for that eye.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

If I had been the victim I would have reconciled myself to being called "One-Eye."
