Arkansas man receives world's first eye transplant - BBC News
A team of more than 140 surgeons in New York successfully performed the procedure on Aaron James.
Aaron James lost his nose, mouth and left eye in a work-related accident. Surgeons in New York successfully performed the reconstruction that included a whole-eye implant. His vision was not restored, but the first-of-its-kind procedure may help advance transplant medicine.

“If some form of vision restoration occurred, it would be wonderful, but... the goal was for us to perform the technical operation,” said the chief surgeon, Dr Eduardo Rodriguez.
