Man, 34, has tooth implanted in eye to restore his vision
- bilekas 1y agoI've heard of this a few times but I still don't quite get it.. It's just the only hard enough part of the body that won't be rejected but won't the autoimmune issues persist? It's really incredible this has been around since the 60's and I would love to have a chat with the first person who said "let's try a tooth"
- polishdude20 1y agoThe guy didn't have an auto immune issue. It was a reaction to some medicine he got as a teenager.
- bilekas 1y agoRight but the article says that it applies the same to those with autoimmune issues..
- polishdude20 1y agoTrue! Hmm best guess I could make is that autoimmune issues rarely attack the teeth themselves?
- paulkrush 1y agoThis is wild read and worth a pool upgrade. He now has about 20/40 or 20/30 vision in that eye, but needs to wear (normal I think) sun glasses.
- nxobject 1y agoFile this question under "intrusive thoughts": does his body's natural mechanisms manage to keep the tooth moist? Does it end up feeling cold?
