#7 Martin Jones - Gets Eyesight Back After Tooth Implanted In Eye
Martin Jones lost his sight when a tub of white hot aluminum hit his face during an explosion at a scrapyard. Suffering 37 percent burns, and required to wear a body stocking over his face for 23 hours per day, he also lost his left eye. His right eye remained in tact, but he was unable to see from it, until doctors used a minuscule section of his canine tooth, and some skin grafted from the inside of his cheek. The grafted skin was placed under the eyelid for two months to acquire a blood supply and then the chiseled piece of tooth was placed into the skin pouch under the eyelid. Eventually he regained use of his eye.
