91-year-old Cecil Farley became the first NHS patient in England to receive an artificial cornea, bypassing a year-long wait for a human cornea transplant.
The artificial cornea, which replaces the inner part of the cornea, is surgically attached to the eye by a single stitch and put in place with a gas bubble.
This innovative procedure could potentially reduce the need for human cornea donations in the future.
