  • Where is your god now?

  • that looks incredible

  • @darknight13 stop beiong an idiot he aint give you that job , the employer did and he took it away . You chose that unfaithful girl and to have her child your fault soo shut up.

  • "Which is why, gentlemen, we call it an eye tooth."

  • She may be better off dead. She's stupid as fuck.

  • God looked out for her :)

  • @LauraLovesClint dumbass, man did the surgery, not your god, which doesn't exist!

  • @Kelz06081984 Just leave me alone lol..go just go simpleton

  • why didnt they just use a tube or something?

    

  • shes still fuck ugly

  • asiegel@med.miami.edu

  • Lol. Itooth.

    Im sooo deeply sorry but i had to point it out

  • I dont get why its a tooth though...

  • @x51havoc It has to be a tooth because they conect the optical nerve that comes from the brain, directly into the natural nerve inside a tooth, and into the lens

  • Comment removed

  • just wondering, since there is a tube that allows light to go to the retina for her to see, can she go swimming with out water entering and ruining her new found sight?

    not trying to be a dick or anything because my friend is blind and i told him about this, he didn't believe me so i brought him to the computer and he listened, he started crying and asking me if this was a hoax and i said no. i had tried looking for an answer to his question but still no luck

  • @marsono1 I believe there is a lense on the end of it, so it is sealed off.

  • but why.....?

  • 6 000 000 dollar woman.

  • Um... ew?

  • I f***ing hate arguments on youtube.

  • bljakkkkkkkkkk :SS

  • amazing

  • I don't get why they used the piece of tooth...

  • @cov99 ya me either...

  • All I want to say is the only thing God ever did is take away her vision.

  • @ihaterobbie123 Yes the doctors did have something to do with it. I mean without the doctors it could have not been done. But God did have to something to do with it 2. U said i do not have  pride and that i am shameless and i was a child . Well u are wrong and i did not throw any bodys achievements away and i did not insult anyone.I am sorry for standing up for what i belive in o wait no i am not sorry

  • can she still blink? woah

  • @3MM4NU37 From the moment we enter this world we are taught good from bad. I was blessed with parents that taught me to believe in God. Looking back upon my childhood made me realize that this 'gift' has given me purpose in life, courage, acceptance, and forgiveness. It expanded my horizons to include the improbable and impossible. I am merely a tool in God's toolbox with a unique and unknown purpose. Like all tools, I will wear out and eventually be replaced. Religion=Belief Atheism=Belief.

  • @MisterDeSoto Yes, you are "merely a tool".

  • cool story

  • My belief in God brings me great comfort. The fact that God is shepherding me is reassuring. When faced with an impossible situation, I always have HOPE. There is never NOTHING I can do about it. Would this woman have been deemed HOPELESSLY blind without CHARITY and GOOD WILL? The doctor had FAITH that he could find a cure, and he did. I cannot prove God exists anymore than I can prove LOVE exists. God created man - man created religion. Atheism is just as much a religion as Christianity.

  • @MisterDeSoto Atheism is as much a religion as NOT collecting stamps is a hobby. Calling atheism a religion doesn't make sense. And your comparison between love and god is pretty accurate. Love exists solely in the mind. So does god.

  • @MisterDeSoto You idiot, love is a measurable chemical reaction that takes place in the brain, it does exsist, however there is no proof of God.

  • amazing

  • Hold on, let me brush my eye tooth.

  • she looks scary

  • I still don't get how it works. I gotta read more about this

  • o god brush your tooth!

  • You cannot imagine what it is like to be TOTALLY blind . You feel like you are buried alive. It is worse than death, because one has to ENDURE it for life. We take these senses for granted. Neither can you imagine the utter joy when after this surgery I could see my family and children again, and this beautiful world we live in. AND I'm typing this here! I could not have been happier had I been standing in Heaven that day! I felt like I WAS! The tooth tends to reabsorb into the tissues .

  • I have had this operation done also , here in England. The technique was perfected by Christopher Lui of The Sussex Eye Hospital In Brighton. He has taught many surgeons how to do this operation. I had 2 long ops and I saw for the first time after many years of being totally blind, 36 hours after the 2nd, final operation. It is called OOKP surgery (osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis­) I can read the bottom line on the eye chart and a number plate at 25 yds. The lamina eventually reabsorbs.

  • does she have to brush it :)

  • @1mG3ttingD1zy

    hahaha

    good one (;

  • I cant hardly believe it, but God loves people like you too. Even if you dont believe in him, he loves you just as much as everyone else.

  • @YelloeAce I agree... WITH THECURTISDAVID. I dont understand the ignorance of some people. How do you think we got here? You think that we came from monkeys or something? NO, how do you think the world got here? The big bang? HECK NO. I am giving the doctors credit. But if it werent for God, that probably would have failed, and she wouldnt be seeing. Clearly God loves her, or he wouldnt of cared wether it failed or not. You need to at least try to let god in your life. it would be alot better

  • htis is good because now i can get that,,,,,i am also blind in an eye.

  • Why would they use a tooth though???

  • Science > God, thumbs up if you think god is a fucktard.

  • @Ryanj2610 No sir. I am in no way religious but i do believe there is a god. Something must have created all this, something we just cant comprehend. It is man that has destroyed gods image with the creation of religion. All religion is is another way for man to control man. And all science is, is us understanding how things were created =) so please don't down speak the entity which created life as we know it.

  • @Ryanj2610 not nice

  • @Ryanj2610 Hopefully one day you realize how you got here. May God bless you even if you're ignorant. Science just maniuplates God's creations. How do you think it got there in the first place?

  • @TheCurtisdavid Stfu. There isn't any proof of God and bring your God-loving ass out of here. All your saying is "Who do you think made us?". Wtf? Can I say that The Big Bang made the universe? Your just some dumb fuck that doesn't have any IDEA what LOGIC is. If there is a "God" I rather go to hell then follow his Tyrant ass. Why do I have to live my life Following HIS rules? I'm a FREE man and I do what I want. For you, stop preaching you dumb bitch.

  • @YelloeAce I didn't say that you HAD to follow Him. You're right, you are a free man. I'm not preaching to anyone, nor am I trying to change your views. I would appreciate it if people wouldn't ignorantly say disrespectful things like that whenever they aren't necessary. You don't have to agree with me, but respect is something that goes a long way. I'm sure you'll figure that out someday.

  • @TheCurtisdavid WTF? :"Hopefully one day you realize how you got here. May God bless you even if you're ignorant. Science just maniuplates God's creations. How do you think it got there in the first place? ". This whole paragraph is "Preaching". This is obviously you trying to change someones view. When you say "respect", doesn't it occur to you that when your giving "God" credit for everything disrespecting all those people that doesn't get any help? You are a very foolish and blinded person.

  • @YelloeAce If I were to unnecessarily call the most important thing in your life a "fucktard", you wouldn't be offended? Some people devote their lives to God, or whatever religion they follow. If you don't agree with that, then that's fine, but there's no need to be vulgar and downright disrespectful.

  • @TheCurtisdavid Have you read anything I wrote? Your CONTRADICTING yourself. Sure I am "Disrespecting" you, but thats only because your give God credit for EVERTHING and that's and complete DISRESPECT to all those people out there that doesn't get ANY help. All you do is when a DOCTER save somebody is say "Thank you God for saving this person". Where's the docters credit? Isn't that DISRESPECTING THEM? Now shove GODs hand up your ass you dumbfuck.

  • @YelloeAce It's what I believe in. I dont agree with, yet respect that you're atheist or whatever the heck you are, and I would expect some respect back. The doctors did the procedure, and by credit goes to them But for ryan to say that science>God and that he is a "fucktard" is not how a human being should act. Everything came from somewhere, regardless of what or who you believe in. "Science" didn't create the world we live on.

  • @TheCurtisdavid You mistaken something. I'm not including Ryan into this or whoever that is. I'm including YOU. You clearly DISRESPECT people out there that are poor homeless and not given and help when you gave God credit for something like this. It doesn't seem like you understand anything that I wrote. I been trying to say YOU DON'T DESERVE RESPECT WHEN YOU DON'T GIVE ANYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD SOME. If you still don't understand, don't be ignorant and tell me "I AM respecting you", because I ~

  • @TheCurtisdavid don't care if you respect me or not. I'm saying you give God credit for helping that lady, what about POOR people out there who suffer everyday of there lives? Oh so God doesn't help them and no one says anything? Only when some DOES get help from Doctors like these will God get the credit. Its like the Doctors themselves only get half the credit when God didn't even do SHIT. Is that really being respectful to the Doctor and People who suffer everyday out there? NO. Dumb Fuck.

  • @YelloeAce If you would like to take the time out of your day to research the book of Job in the bible, your questions will be answered.

  • @TheCurtisdavid Wtf? Now you're telling me to read a useless book. Have nothing to say? Trying to convert me into your crap religion? Even if your "not", if you're going to be arguing, try backing yourself up. Don't just tell me to read a book of Fairy tails. What will that crap book tell me? How to get to Heaven? OBVIOUSLY. Now tell me something I DO want to know. LIKE how disrespectful YOU are to those people out there. Scientist WORK hard to save LIVES. What do you do? "Oh, Thank you God!"

  • believe what you want to believe I'm atheist too but we all got here somehow and don't say evolution cause they got here somehow as well i still believe that there is a higher power that's as far as it goes though

  • I believe in god...but i think that this is an achievement of people....God doesnt help you unless u do something for yourself first....

  • Hey you Christians. Shut the fuck up. God is not real and I don't want your bullshitty lecture. I'm fucking Atheist and proud of it.

  • oh man i should try that! but not really

  • brush your eyes lol..

  • PRAISE GOD

  • Hmm... I don't understand exactly what they did... did they just make a hole or something? If her vision problems had to do with her cornea being cloudy, couldn't she just have had a cataract (unless this operation was relatively 'cheaper' for her - being somebody's guinea pig) ... well unless there was no cornea left to recover... (a cataract simply takes a slice off of the surface or something) ...

    I suppose the only reason they needed a tooth was because they needed the tissue to patch it?

  • Anyone that says god had anything to do with this needs to be bitch slapped.

  • @evil420thug u are so wrong that is my great aunt and God had everything to do with that :)

  • @muffin0061 Yeah, it's not as if those doctors performed surgery they trained their entire professional lives for or anything. 5 years of med school each and 200 years or so of collective medical practice wasted, god did it all in the end.

    People like you...you just have no pride do you? You're children. Well I've got some news for you, it's not your right to throw away other people's achievements. Those doctors do their finest job and you insult them...shameless, that's what you are.

  • @evil420thug not god. it's lure for the tooth fairy

  • @evil420thug agreed.

  • @evil420thug God doesn't do a wack job.

  • @evil420thug

    Jesus Loves You ;D

  • @darknight13 F**K Jesus!

    

  • @evil420thug

    He still loves you ;D

  • @darknight13 Really? if he still loved me would he have taken my daughter away, taken my job away, let me work at shitty as job all day for shitty as pay while the baby mom sucks some other dude off and i gotta pay child support out of my shitty check?

  • @evil420thug

    Thats the corruption of man who doesnt have god in his heart and god gave us all free will so everyone has a choice. He doesnt make everything happen, but everything does happen for a reason. Jesus <3's You

  • @evil420thug wow dude! Calm down. Jesus did not take away all of that. You need to stop blaming on him for your problems. You need to have faith! And trust in the Lord. For God will bless you with many. You need Jesus into your life man. He knows what your going threw and he is willing to help you. If you let him into your life.

    God bless you

  • @evil420thug You don't have to be so harsh about it. Fine and dandy that you don't believe in a higher power, but there's no reason to go and insult others that do. Damn, what's so hard about everyone showing respect to everyone's decisions and beliefs.

  • you can regain your sense of smell by shoving a foot up your ass.

    you can regain your hearing by giving your self 20 purple nurples on every tuesday.

    also you can become a dumbass by doing any of the above

  • you gotta think how much that would cost to do tho i read an article today said only like 50 people have had it done

  • possibly they will aesthetically improve their technique next :)

  • The tooth fairy got jipped

  • i wonder if the tooth can still get cavities

  • LMAO

  • @Pelonetillo Not unless she puts sugar in her eyes.

  • I feel bad for the tooth fairy now

  • If i had that I'd probably pick at it until i got it all out.

  • I know my Auntie will be in line for the iTooth lol..but seriously..she prolly would get it.

  • Holy .....! Wow just wow!!

  • Well, then instead of Hammurabi's "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth", with Gandhi's addition, "An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind", combined makes:

    "An eye for an eye will make the world blind, but a tooth for each eye will restore vision."

  • haha its the i-tooth!

  • i get so scarred i wont sleep this night :S

  • nice!

  • fuck yeah!!!

  • her right ear looks fake.

  • SO....does she have to brush her eye!

  • We have no idea of what medical problems this woman has had. So to say that she is a stupid hillbilly is just ignorant.

  • No, Demon, the only hillbilly freak seems to be you...

  • holy s#%T

  • Awesome.

  • oh my God

  • puch an eye and break a tooth!!

  • That was something trippy. I heard about this the other day on the radio and thought it was all BS but this was pretty cool to see it was a real deal.

  • all the progress in science and such idiot comments.... sad

    nice to see this kind of new procedures exist

  • As it says in the Holey Bible, "an eye for a tooth and a tooth for an eye tooth" or some such thing.

  • if they at least painted a iris around the hole in the tooth, than it wouldnt look like a zombie eye

  • i think i would rather stay blind for the rest of my life than to look like a monster.

  • wtf just put an eyepatch on that.

    Or better yet, get an awesome satellite implant.

  • She wouldn't be able to see with an eyepatch over it.  Think about it.

  • She still has another eye hurr hurr. I wonder how much this surgery costed.

    Still, whatever. She paid for it and not me.

  • Another eye that doesn't work... Did you even watch the video?

  • SICK

  • why tooth..?

  • because eye rejects all materieals they have tried before.

  • Why would you want to ruin a perfectly good skullfuckable eyesocket by putting a tooth in it?

  • iTooth ill buy that for a dollar

  • lol

  • What a touching story...

  • Room for a new Apple product: iTooth

  • They should have used one of her testicles. I would imagine it being a better shape to fit in her eye socket.

  • in the future, will they make you talk with your ears?

  • This greatly decreases the odds of me going blind permanently in my old age. Hurray for science, WOO!

  • has anyone ever realised how aggressively religeous people try and preach there word here. Its almost as if, as science's knowledge base grows, and starts to challenge a lot of the religeous faiths with more and more credit, religeous people sense there grasp on society is starting to dwindle. If anyone was interested, im refering to the two fag heads that posted 2, and 3 comments below me :)

  • Well I wish God would have made the circumstances necessary for you to learn how to spell and punctuate properly.

  • but god did create the circumstances for this discovery to take place, and to know that their is something all-knowing and wise may be hard for the many, but once u see him as some have seen him u know. if u had asked this lady who would she thank, she would say the doctor and god, even though god did not give her the gift of life, but god did create the circumstances needed for this whole operation to take place.

  • u people treat 'god' as ur scape goat. all u do is refer everything back to god- i.e. u dont rationalise a single thing for yourself...just keep following the heard..thats it..

  • if we follow this "logic", that means god created the circumstances for all rapes, child abuse, genocides, wars etc. I guess we can thank god for all these wonderful things.

  • and then god created youtube

  • GOD HAS ALL TO DO WITH THIS B/C HE Created mankind in "HIS" image and without the mind that was given by GOD man wouldn't be able to comprehend science. TO GOD be the GLORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

  • lol, grow up, its not the middle ages anymore.

  • Id itch my eyeball out if they stuck a tooth in there

  • "Blind patient sees again WITH HER EYE TOOTH"

    Remarkable, yes, but that sentence cracked me up LOL.

  • It's amazing what science can do. Hopefully this will allow people who have been blind their entire lives to be able to see.

  • what are you talking about.........god didnt do the operation for this woman, god didnt research and experiment with different medical procedures leading up to this, it was the scientists, and doctors that did all the work........

  • @godzilla101202 Thank you! i dont understand why people say this is a miracle from god.

  • @godzilla101202 lol.. but god created the entire universe... so give him a bit of credit

  • @godzilla101202 really?? then who invented humans?? GOD. who gave humans brain?? GOD. who made the guy to know how to solve this problem?? GOD ..so just shut the fuck up u fuckin asswhole

  • @sweetyangelissocool First of all, you're responding to a comment thats a year old, 2nd of all, Humans were not ``invented``, they evolved from primates, 3rd of all, humans brains and other internal organs are developed in the womb of a female human in the time period of 9 month's. 4th of all the scientist and resercher who made this possible gained the expertise and knowledge to be able too accomplish this procedure gained the experance through study and hard work at a university.

  • @godzilla101202 ..lemme start this...i dont really care if i used the word "invented" in a wrong sentence...and if god didn't give them brain...will they still be able to solve this complicated experiment?? i guess not...so from now on...i guess u wont have any good explanation for this comment...or otherwise it will be ridiculous!

  • @sweetyangelissocool 6th of all, its expected for a rligious fanatic like you to tell someone to shutup and to repress free speech just because of different ideologies. 7th of all keep it in church, i wasn't forcing my idea of religion on people, i was merely, as you can see, just trying to point out some thing for you religous fanatics to think about. i could care less what your beliefs are. and lastly i can tell you're trolling and im shooting myself in the foot for wasting my time to respond

  • @godzilla101202 ok..first, im not a religious fanatic...and im not the one who fights against it either...im just saying that everything u wrote is completely wrong..and i dont have to keep it in church..i can keep it here...in these comments..wich nobody see's at all!! ...and according to what u said lastly...if u dont even care, why did u respond??

  • @sweetyangelissocool Im responding because i don't like to open my email, and see a douchebag cramming his own religious views down my throat and telling me to shut the fuck up, and calling me a fucking ``asswhole``.

  • @godzilla101202 dude, i didnt mean any of that....-.-'

  • science my friend, god has nothing to do with this

  • when science comes up with a way to create matter from nothing please tell me. matter/energy can neither be created nor destroyed, so technically you and i should not be existing right now.

  • i could go into a long discussion explaining everything that is wrong with your statements, but i will simply allow you to live in ignorance as another useless pawn in  world until you die.

  • That's amazing. If you think about it it's the first procedure. Wait another year or so and you we be amazed again at what they come out with. :)

  • I've heard of blue tooth, I've heard of Iphone... But Now They Got Eye Tooth!!

    What's next Finger nose?

  • Holyyyyyyyyyyyy Shit lol thats cool

  • wow.... i wonder why a tooth tho........

  • same

  • AAHHH WHATTHEFUCKISTHAT?????

  • And what if that tooth had a cavity? What's gonna happen then?!...... /stupidjoke off

  • i wonder why they had to use a retarded patient

  • Be nice! Can't you tell she's talking in a simple manner in order to fully and clearly explain things to the audience.

  • They had to use her I teeth, for obvious reasons.

    I mean eye tooth

  • hmmmm.....why a tooth specifically?

  • o_o that's amazing.

  • Haha, that's awesome for her. And I love her accent too. I was expecting her to say, "Oh, I do declare!"

  • wow that so cool. I was rejected lasik due to my topography (ocular) in Bascom Palmer, and I have healthy eyes. GO FIGURE

  • Get some sunglasses or an eyepatch please. Thanks.

  • They need to use tooth material to hold the optics with some patients because their bodies would likely reject synthetic materials.

  • Damn somebody buy this lady a 1080p plasma
