"While the recipient has not regained vision, the transplanted eye has maintained normal pressure, good blood flow and some remaining structure and functions in the retina," said Rodriguez.
"Even if I can't see out of my new eye, I've gained my quality of life back, and I know this is a step forward in the path to help future patients," said James.
"Many experts did not think we would even be here, but we've successfully transplanted and maintained an eye without immune rejection," said Rodriguez.
Rodriguez described the outcome as a 'foundation for future advancements' in ocular transplants, indicating promising potential for restoring vision in future surgeries.
