Surgeons at NYU Langone Health have successfully performed the world's first whole-eye transplant on Aaron James, a 46-year-old military veteran who suffered facial injuries after a power wire shock. The operation lasted 21 hours and involved over 140 surgeons, nurses, and other health care professionals. The transplant is seen as a breakthrough, although it's uncertain if the patient will regain sight in the new eye.
