Which country surgeons perform world`s first whole-eye transplant?

  • A. USA
  • B. Bangladesh
  • C. Japan
  • D. UAE

Correct Answer: A. USA

A team of surgeons in New York said on 9 November 2023 that they had performed the world`s first transplant of an entire eye in a procedure described as a medical breakthrough. However, it isn`t yet known whether the patient will regain his sight. The groundbreaking surgery involved removing part of the face and the whole left eye of a donor and grafting them onto the recipient: a 46-year-old line worker who survived a 7,200-volt electric shock in June 2021 when his face touched a live wire.
