Canadian Woman Regains Sight Through Tooth-in-Eye Surgery

Canadian Woman Regains Sight Through Tooth-in-Eye Surgery

Imagine losing your eyesight, and then getting it back in a very unusual way!

That's what happened to Gail Lane.

Because of a problem with her eyes, she couldn't see for ten years.

Doctors used a special surgery called "tooth-in-eye."

They took one of her teeth and put it in her cheek for a while to grow new tissue around it.

Then, they put a tiny lens in the tooth and put it into her eye to help her see.

Now, she can see colors, shapes, and the faces of people she loves again!
