Italian woman regains sight after 5 years
Italian Elena, 67 years old, regained her sight after more than five years of blindness thanks to a rare, world-first surgery, in which doctors transferred parts of her healthy left retina to her damaged right eye. The procedure lasted six hours and involved the transplantation of the cornea, sclera, conjunctiva, and, for the first time worldwide, the central part of the retina known as the macula, which provides sharp vision and color perception. Following a noticeable improvement, Elena was able to recognize her son’s face and her guide dog, with her results continuing to improve.
