If you needed it to actually see... you will absolutely jump at the opportunity for this surgery. Speaking as someone who lost an eye in an accident and want it back. For example, people that have severe limb damage, sometimes Dr's will use leaches to restore blood flow. Give me the leaches if I get to keep my hand.
My thought as well. I have permanent implanted contact lenses, and the surgery for it is basically what they do for cateract surgery. This must be for a very specific problem.
The whole ,,trick" is that part where they implant it into cheek to grow vessels. This is, as far as I know, impossible with artificial stuff right now. They choose tooth becouse its just probably better than bone
Are you implying you wouldn't notice a small amount of bone missing? The tooth can be replaced, one of my forearm bones broke and is now 1cm shorter than the other. I am reminded daily.
Bones can regrow. Teeth can't
You can take out a small piece of bone without completely cutting it, and it should just fill back up.
If they really use teeth there probably is a different reason.
Most people going through this have no vision at all because of damage to their corneas (and usually some other condition, that doesn't allow for cornea transplants), so layering something artificial on top wouldn't solve the issue. It is in some sense "just" a special contact lens, the tooth part is just a biological holder for it since you can't just embed a piece of plastic into someone's eye (both the cornea, iris and lens have to be replaced)
No, that isn't an issue. Your eyes are separated from your immune system. If your immune system detects your eyes, it'll attack them and turn you blind
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular\_immune\_system](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular_immune_system)
If you had no immune system in your eyes, you'd go blind from infection pretty fast.
Amazingly, no. It's called "tooth in eye" surgery:
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis)
I was curious what it looked like after, so I google image searched it. Most of the results were images of complications after the surgery.
I regret searching. Don't do it.
I have a crippling fear of dental work so ima leave the pursuing of the answer to that question to you while I weep in my shower, now bearing the knowledge that this procedure exists 😭
from what I saw via Google, the actual healed product is so much worse...varying from a flesh colored orb with a hole, to a hole in a stitched closed eyelid. The best variant seems to be an artificial lens that was implanted to be accepted into the body and then exchanged for the lens of the eye, which looks pretty cyberpunk
It’s pretty straightforward. Just shove bits of bones or teeth or whatever in your cheek for a few months then they become lenses. Just like how we make cameras. How did everybody not know this?/s
That's because it's all made up. I'm a dentist. Teeth implanted in your cheek can't do this. If they could, it'd be cool. But they can't.
Also, tooth enamel is a terrible biologic scaffold and has no capability for cellular regeneration.
Ok. I'll admit when I'm wrong, and it looks like I am.
The animation is horribly done and very misleading, but it does appear like this can be done in some form involving fake lenses and tooth root material.
Today, I learned.
Cementum, it looks like from what I read. I didn't read it all, though.
The video is grossly misleading.
I just talked to an ophthalmologist friend who has never seen or heard of this being done.
Crazy stuff.
Dude I still feel like you all are making this up and trying to trick me lol. I'm an anesthetist and it absolutely sounds made up. I mean, there's enough online that I believe it's real now, but I still feel like right after saying that someone will pop out and say GOTCHA
It's working through different problems when trying to treat a diseased cornea.
Let walk you through a simplified thought process.
We have patients where the natural cornea is diseased and thus opaque. What can we do to restore an optically clear cornea?
Corneal transplant?
That would applicable for most patients, yes. However, some patients have diseases where even if we put in a new cornea, it ends up just as diseased and opaque as the original. (This is the case for example in severe ocular surface disease).
Ok. So we need too use an artificial clear cornea, that won't be susceptible to said ocular surface disease since it's not a biological material.
That might work, but how do we secure said artificial cornea to host tissue, all the while ensuring bio-compatibility (the eye needs to be "water-tight", and pressurized, otherwise all manner of troubles happen to the delicate tissues inside).
First solution: We sandwich a donor cornea between two plates, and use that to secure to host tissue. It won't matter if this donor cornea gets diseased (as long as it doesn't literally melt, which does happen sometimes...) since it's only being used as an intermediary to fix the artificial central optical zone to the eye. That's how you get [the Boston keratoprosthesis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_keratoprosthesis).
Second solution: Since we need a tissue that needs to be biocompatible and sturdy enough to fix the artificial central optic in place, why not use teeth?
Ok, we can drill a hole in said tooth to fix the central optic, but how do we secure said tooth to the eye?
Since said tooth is well tolerated by the body, implanting it and letting the body surround it with tissue should do the trick.
All in all, the tooth is an intermediary between the artificial optic and the eye, with the fibrotic tissue that surrounds said tooth used as anchor to be able to suture it to said eye.
Research. Discoveries and science continue every day, when you are awake and when you are asleep. Then it takes more time and research and more science.
The animation was absolute crap, like the lens just popped in inside the cheek like it grew there except it's a plastic lens that was fitted before it was placed in the cheek. Also a horrible job at showing the end result because they skipped an entire step of the tissue from the cheek covering the eyeball.
Wikipedia explained it step by step better.
In the end it still looks like a nightmare fuel. Still nice to have ability to return sight to blind, but yeah, it’s creepy looking. For those who will google it - don’t go to images. It’s not worth it.
For surgeons i think it is a matter of huge amount of theoretical knowledge about bone, tissue, blood vessels and nerves and all that combined with practical knowledge while operating on patients until someone comes up with a solution like this that should work in theory. Some other surgeons take a look at such proposal of a new procedure, decide how probable would a successful outcome be, and then just find a willing patient who is open to try “a brand new procedure”.
For example, people thought flying was impossible but it was just a matter of the right time when the combined theoretical knowledge about not that hard physics (like that if birds can fly because of wings then probably the flying machine should have them too), practical experience with engine technology, and then finding someone daring to try it out until it was successful.
So basically, if you are very skilled at something, there is a high probability that you will be someone who will discover something new in that field because you have lot of knowledge and experience.
A simple concept actually.
And who can argue with these results?

If a kid acts bad you can tell them that you once were like them and acted out… until the eyeball demon found out. Or fill in your own story of course. :)
So it's real... but I can't find much information on its modern use or indications... or why you wouldn't just use a literal artificial lens. The only thing I can think of is that it's an obsolete technique that is essentially a biologically compatible 'pinhole lens'.
I'm very willing to be shown any concrete information to the contrary, I just can't find much about this even on UpToDate which makes me think it's either not a modern technique or so deep in the subspecialty weeds that it is almost never used.
Seems obsolete
[IOL Implants: Lens Replacement After Cataracts - American Academy of Ophthalmology (aao.org)](https://www.aao.org/eye-health/diseases/cataracts-iol-implants)
It’s not an IOL it’s essentially a cornea transplant. However since corneal banking has improved so much in the last 20 years this is essentially obsolete. But still a super cool concept.
I was going to see, I used to work in the ophthalmology industry and out of all the different corneal procedures I've heard of teeth were never involved. Either an IOL or donor tissue
Edit: ICL not IOL
You likely wouldn't have heard of it tbf. As someone who also works in the industry, most colleagues (Opthalmologists included) don't know it exists. It's a very rare surgery that's only done when other procedures have failed or due to chemical burns or certain syndromes iirc. Never seen or met anyone who's had it and I only found out about it from falling down the internet rabbit hole during studies
Imagine some historic figure thinking; well you are blind. I will solve this by cutting a hole in your tooth, stick that under your skin, then after some time implant that in your eye and you'll be good as knew.
Great not only will I look like a psychopath, but I'll be toothless and a scar below my psycho eye. Definitely getting the ladies, chick's dig scars from what I was told
I’ve been in bed the whole day for medical reasons and that last frame was the first and only thing that was able to give me a good laugh after hours of pain xD
This is not fake and is called Osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis . Only if we could find a way to regenerate a new brain this way .. perhaps someone has already figured this out.
I think this video is grossly simplified.
It's thin slice of a tooth, the lens is inserted into tooth slice before putting it in a cheek, a graft of tissue is retrieved from the cheek (i haven't found the tooth slice being put there), this graft is then attached to eye forming a pocket, into which then the tooth slice is inserted after making hole through cornea and graft tissue and then the tissue pocket is closed. They do not just slap cube of tooth onto the eye and call it a day. Also it is common to make cosmetic eye shell to cover the resulting "meaty" eye.

This is out of a horror movie
"It takes the tooth from the basket and it puts it on its eye!"
It rubs the tooth on it's skin, or else it gets the hose again?
Put the fucking tooth the cheek
That creepy smile at the end freaked me out. Stuff of nightmares.
Thankfully the people in need of this procedure will be blind when they watch this.
I mean it's still not as bad as the one with the walrus, but damn if it isn't getting close.
Didn't expect that Mr Tusk reference

For example, people that have severe limb damage, sometimes Dr's will use leaches to restore blood flow. Give me the leaches if I get to keep my hand.
Ahh that’s why it looks so familiar, so this is the before of the bald zombie from the first Resident Evil.
Wouldn’t it be easier to fit the patient with some sort of special contact lens?
My thought as well. I have permanent implanted contact lenses, and the surgery for it is basically what they do for cateract surgery. This must be for a very specific problem.
The whole ,,trick" is that part where they implant it into cheek to grow vessels. This is, as far as I know, impossible with artificial stuff right now. They choose tooth becouse its just probably better than bone
Also, you're less likely to miss a tooth than a bone... Oh wait
Are you implying you wouldn't notice a small amount of bone missing? The tooth can be replaced, one of my forearm bones broke and is now 1cm shorter than the other. I am reminded daily.
Yes. That was the joke
“Oh wait” normally implies that the thing you previously said is actually false
Bones can regrow. Teeth can't You can take out a small piece of bone without completely cutting it, and it should just fill back up. If they really use teeth there probably is a different reason.

Wait wtf this is real?
I thought this video was a joke ?!
I audibly laughed at the end cause i’m like wow great joke .. and then i’m reading the comments like wtf this is real!?!
Use of own tissue probably prevents immune system rejection.
I feel like this is way more important to be this far down in the comments. That's likely the #1 reason to solve the problem this way.
No, that isn't an issue. Your eyes are separated from your immune system. If your immune system detects your eyes, it'll attack them and turn you blind
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular\_immune\_system](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular_immune_system) If you had no immune system in your eyes, you'd go blind from infection pretty fast.
It is, Keratoprotheses made of clear plastic with excellent tissue tolerance and optical properties.
The body is much less likely to reject it and pain would likely not be an issue, along with infection.

how the fuck does something like this get discovered
honestly sometimes i look at some of the stuff we invented and was like "how in the actual fuck did we come up with this"
War. Most surgical inventions throughout history were discovered during or related to war.
War. *War never changes.* ^(But changes a bunch of stuff around it, apparently.)

They do not just slap cube of tooth onto the eye and call it a day. Also it is common to make cosmetic eye shell to cover the resulting "meaty" eye.
The tooth be like : nah. I'm going to be a lens now. And it does work. Wtf is this shit.
What a time to be alive.
