In a pigs eye, you say, ha.
Doctors in south China claimed to have successfully transplanted the cornea of a pig onto a 14-year-old boy’s eye.
The bio-engineering transplant was carried out by a medical team at the Sun Yat-sen University’s Zhongshan Ophthalmic Centre in Guangzhou Province on February 25, reports the People’s Daily Online.
Since the operation, the boy has slowly regained sight in his right eye, according to the article. If the claims are true, millions of patients suffering from corneal blindness across China could be helped. MORE
