A woman managed to see her husband – for the first time after a decade of time she lived without seeing him – after her age was planted in her eye, in complex and strange surgery.
Jail Lin lost her eyesight 10 years ago, after self -disorder caused distortions in her two villages, the lenses at the front of the eye necessary for a clear vision.
This woman is 75 years old, and lives in Victoria in the British Columbia County in Canada.
All this changed in February after it underwent rare surgery called Sunni corneal cultivation, according to a news published by the British Daily Mail.
This two -part process, also known as “Age in Ain” surgery, included artificial corneal implantation on a pendant made of its age in the cavity of her eye.
During the following weeks, Gayl regained her ability to see gradually, and at first she was able to distinguish between light and darkness, and with her vision improved later, she returned to see the movements.
She told “CBC News” that she can see a lot of colors “and I can now see the outside. Trees, grass and flowers, it is a great feeling that I can see some of these things again.”
“It was a long wait, but it is worth it.”
A way to deceive the body
The process begins by removing a longitudinal tooth and then polishing to create a soft plate, then digs a hole in it to make room for an optical (artificial cornea) device to be entered, and proves in its place with cement.
The age and the visual system is grown together after that in the cheek for 3 months, as it can form the connective tissue and blood vessels, and this process is known as the cultivation of a dental bone corneal, and this is very important to ensure that the cornea does not refuse when sewing it later in the patient’s eye cavity.
For its part, the National Health Services Authority explains this procedure by saying, “Sunni corneal cultivation is a technique used to replace damaged cornea in blind patients who are not a corneal transplant from a deceased donor.
This technique was developed about 40 years ago in Italy, and the root of the patient’s age and the jaw bone is used to support a visual cylinder, and Sunni corneal transplant surgery is not performed except in the final stage of corneal disease when no other treatment is available to restore vision.
On the progress made so far, Gayel said, “I started seeing the features of the faces of others as well, which is very exciting.”
It is considered the first time that surgery has been performed in Canada, but it was previously performed in other countries, and the first surgeon was conducting the operation in the country was Dr. Greg Molmoni from Mount Saint Joseph Hospital in Vancouver.
Dr. Moloni explained that the tooth is used as part of the procedure to increase the chances of success of the exact process.
