Summary
This episode shares the remarkable story of Ian Tibbett, who lost his sight after a work accident and struggled with blindness. He found hope in a novel procedure called osteo-odontokeratoprosthesis, where a piece of his tooth was implanted to hold an artificial lens, preventing rejection. This groundbreaking surgery ultimately allowed him to see his twin children for the first time.Episode description
