A little boy who had his eyes gouged out in a sickening attack has undergone surgery that could one day lead to the partial restoration of his sight. In the first of two operations, Guo Bin was fitted with implants similar to eyeballs by Dr Dennis Lam in the Southern China city of Shenzhen yesterday. Dr Lam had volunteered his services after the six-year-old had been found with his eyes gouged out and covered in blood in Fenxi, Shangxi province, on 24 August.
