Artificial cornea

Postby Loopy-Lou » Fri 31 Dec 2010 3:36 pm

Did anyone see that news item on the TV just before xmas - Sheraz Deya who performed a successful artificial corneal graft on a blind man. I wonder whether this will start to be done more?

Lou

I don't think that artificial corneas are much good for us yet, but progress is being made every day.

Every good wish for the New Year.
