Spotted on MN :

"A Londoner has received the world’s-first 3D printed digital eye as a prosthetic.

Promising to cut the time it takes to develop a prosthesis by half, it’s also more realistic than other alternatives."

It's on the Good News Network website which is worth a look -

It sounds like a great step that will benefit people. It’s good to see modern technology used in this way.

That is so awesome, beautiful and just fantastic, fabulous and everything good!!
Thank up for sharing that, FarNorth.
Both my parents-in-law were blind. They had been born sighted but lost their sight very young. Pops had glass eyes. We were forever telling him to straighten them, lol. It would have been so nice for him to have been able to have an eye like this man AND try as I did, I could not make out which one it is!!
He looks so happy, too!
And then I read the other story there about the bride who wore a tactile wedding dress for her blind groom. Oh such a beautiful thing to do for him!

That is good news. Medical technology is so improved now. My grandmother had a glass eye and another great aunt had very little vision . I hope as many as can, can benefit .
