Blind man sees wife for first time after having a TOOTH implanted into his eye

[Woosta]

When Martin Jones met his wife four years ago, he never imagined that one day he would get to see what she looked like.

The 42-year-old builder was left blind after an accident at work more than a decade ago.

But a remarkable operation - which implants part of his tooth in his eye - has now pierced his world of darkness.

The procedure, performed fewer than 50 times before in Britain, uses the segment of tooth as a holder for a new lens grafted from his skin.

'The doctors took the bandages off and it was like looking through water and then I saw this figure and it was her,' he said today.

'She's wonderful and lovely. It was unbelievable to see her for the first time.'

Mr Jones, from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, married his wife Gill, 50, four years ago.

You really want pics?

 

[tokie]

I too want pics of his wife.

Also, I wouldn't trust having British teeth put into my eyes. That could only make it worse.

Don't knock what works. Sounds pretty good for him, no matter how weird he is.

Good enough that when he saw the first auto since getting his sight back, he burst out laughing.


It was a smart car and he thought it had been chopped in half
