🤨🤯🫣 I love it and don’t love it at the same time! I’ll stick to ears. 😅

There was a despot with orange skin and small hands on the throne of America...

What the fuck, that's amazing

Is that why the pointy one is called an eye tooth

So does this mean he’s also developed synesthesia

I always wondered what that song by The Knife was about. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W10F...

That is the craziest actual medical procedure I’ve ever heard of!!

🙀⚡️

That’s just amazing. What even makes people THINK if ideas like this.

IDK, is this better than a cornea transplant? even with needing to take anti-rejection drugs?

lot of trial and error? I guess the key thing is you need something that is real tough but the body won't attack, and a tooth fits the bill perfectly

3D printed body parts made with tissue created from your own cells is going to produce *scenes*

At the end of the day we are just machines of meat. It's about knowing how the bits of the machine operate that one can use that operation to bodge a solution together. This is essentially a cyborg eye lense they make out of a tooth.

Gives new meaning to the phrase "eye tooth"

They've been doing it for quite some time: "The procedure was pioneered by the Italian ophthalmic surgeon Professor Benedetto Strampelli in the early 1960s." 🤯 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteo-o...

Thank you murica

The name is Fronkensteen!

...as one does

Jesus Christ who thinks up this stuff!

This is the kind of stuff that GOP is putting an end to

I see. I guess I’m just confused why pacemakers aren’t made of a bunch of teeth then.

They probably did this for Stevie wonder years ago

Wtf. Can you imagine being the first person they did this to?

Science is freaking crazy lol

Doctor 1: “Teeth and eyes are made out of the same stuff. We can probably use a tooth to fix his eye.” Doctor 2: “You’re thinking of hair and nails, not teeth and eyes.” Doctor 1: “ Too late!”

what

Humans can do real good things sometimes. Like whomever came up with this solution! GOAT-level.

So gd cool

Former dentist I used to work with/manage I can feel this guy shaking with excitement over this through the ether. Nobody talks enough about how some dentists really really love dentistry.

For real.

This is so dope and innovative. Eye stuff rules, always and forever

This happened my cousin Griff.

he’s cashing bank shots at the local gym like nobody’s business with a tooth for an eye

ball is life

No bigger flex than "I got my sight back and now I'm about to break your ankles"

Have they tried using teeth?

FUCK IT WE BALL

I don't know what I expected but ... ah!

The technique was invented in the ‘60s?!

Literally thought it was a funny onion article until I reread.

da fuq?!

The human body, amiright

biological entities are so fucking weird

Ahhh, one step closer to having an eye transplanted into the tip of a penis

its wild and even looks like. keratoprosthetisis types 1 and 2

The what??

Whaat?!?

It was a wisdom tooth and now he SEES.

Science. Who knew?

....what? That's amazing. But also what

Cool!

Cornea dentata?

😂

The feel good story of the week...

In fact, the reality of human evolution is proof that creationists can't be complex.

I am so curious about the guy who had this surgery explained to him and was like “yup that seems like sound science to me, get to tooth yankin’”

Wow! That is really cool!

Huh what?

I’m sorry…wut?!

Afterall, they say teeth are the eyes of the mouth

This... Seems implausible...

Science rules!!!

@2damntrans.bsky.social thought you’d get a kick out of this

The simulation is collapsing

How drunk is that doctor?

So that's why insurance makes me pay extra for teeth and eyes

4 fellas in a van, go into a barn full of cabbages and find out you can stick a lens in a tooth and pop it in yet eye socket.

"A tooth in the eye is worth two in the bush."

It’s been staring us in the face the entire time! Literally.

they do!

human bodies are so gross (complimentary)

the marvels of modern medicine (genuine, laudatory)

this isn't science, this is necromancy

That’s some sci fi nonsense How is that real?

They gave this man Roy Orbison-ification surgery and I think that’s very nice for him

Naturally. This is the first thing anyone would think of.

Also he can bite you with his eye it’s a miracle

Sure why not

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteo-o...

"Ángel Hernández, please call your office..."

It has to be one of the eye teeth, though. I don't know if that's a joke or not.

And so the old saying comes to fruition: He'd give his eye teeth to have his sight back.

That's why they call them "eye-teeth."

What will spies think of next?

I wish I could have been in the room when someone first proposed that "Hear me out.."

What

I've always said that the teeth are the eyes of the mouth

You know the saying. Eye for an eye. Tooth for an eye.

An eye with a tooth makes the whole world see?

Hemorrhoid sufferers scheduling dental appointments at record rates in the wake of this news!

OH MY GOD I LEARNED THAT LAST MONTH AND IT BROKE MY BRAIN

Oh my word that's amazing!

I’m sorry but wut

🤯

If they do both eyes, is it a “Full Corinthian” sandman.fandom.com/wiki/The_Cor...

sure why not make a frankeneye

Is THAT why they’re called eye teeth?

Don't try this at home.

Science 💪

it’s just a different type of bone graft!

But like… how?! How does one even conceptualize this is a potential solution?!?!

Thank you for sharing because this blew my mind today!!

incoherent noises here

You didn’t mention the flattening first…lol…I read it see how a tooth in 3d wld work…lol

I wonder who thought of this idea. I’d like to meet them and have one or two or ten beers with them
