Osteo-Odonto-Keratoprosthesis

Thats a big word... Its a medical procedure where the doctors take a tooth, the root and part of the jaw and repair your eye socket. The Jaw is used to rebuild the eye socket, the root is used as a type of 'extension cord' and the tooth has a small hole drilled into it and is inserted into the cornea. Its a 15 hour procedure for both eyes. This is an awesome story, giving hope to those who can't see. One of the managers at Taco Bell live with a Blind Lady, maybe Ill show him this story.

What do you guys think?
