"US Army Veteran Makes History with World's First Successful Eye Transplant"

Doctors at New York University Langone Health have successfully conducted the world's first surgery involving a complete eye and partial face transplant, giving a US Army veteran the chance to regain his sight. The 21-hour surgical procedure included transplanting the entire left eye and a portion of the face from a single donor, making it the first-ever human whole-eye transplant in medical history. While the outcome of regaining vision in the transplanted eye is uncertain, this groundbreaking achievement opens doors for future advancements in vision therapies and related fields of medicine.
