On Apr.21,2011,an artificial cornea was grafted on a garment warehouse worker,Shri.Kedar of Bhosari,Pune,Maharashtra.This was brought from Massachusetts eye and ear infirmary , United States Of America and was grafted at K K Eye institute. The eye is responding well to the treatment.
I think this is a ray of hope to some of the corneal blind persons of India.
