Eye transplant

You may hear the words “eye transplant” used by patients, but a true eye transplant surgery is not possible. An entire eye cannot be taken from one person and transplanted into another person in order to improve vision. That does work with organ transplants and some tissues, but cannot be done with an entire eye with current medical knowledge and techniques.

The Bible state:

In Galatians 4:15 ” Where, then, is your blessing of me now? I can testify that, if you could have done so, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.–

Currently, the only eye transplant procedure that is available is the cornea transplant, which replaces a diseased cornea with a cornea donated by a deceased donor. A cornea transplant can produce remarkable changes in vision. In fact, some individuals can be legally blind prior to surgery and find their vision is 20/20 after a cornea transplant.
