what  eye transplantation is easier than kidney transplantation?
444175
Whole eyes are not actually transplanted.  The most common form of eye transplant is just of the cornea (the clear front part of the eye).  The reason those transplants are more successful than kidney transplants is that the cornea is avascular (it doesn't have any blood vessels).  This makes it less likely that the body will reject the new tissue.

For one, cameras today can't produce the resolution that a human eye can produce.\n\nThey are working on artificial eyes and radar, and I think a Retinal Transplant might help you. Talk to your doctor about if you are a possible candidate.

I am an Ophthalmology nurse and have great experience with alot of these things.  First of all, no Ortho K will not correct your vision. On top of that, by sleeping in any kind of lenses, your at greater risk for a corneal ulcer, which is extremely painful, and can damage your cornea enough to cause blindness.  Lasik surgery is a very good option if you are a candidate.  It is painless.  If you wear contacts, you have to be out of contacts for three weeks because they cause corneal warpage and you could have inaccurate results.

Funny you ask that, can you get your hands on a pancreas? Exactly, thats why they don't offer them to cure diabetes, they would rather you live with it shooting up day in and day out. They offer them when they are going in for other reasons like kidneys and such but they are time and money consuming. To get a transplant is very expensive and time consuming also a little dangerous. They need you to shut down your immune system for six months to a year and then do the transplant and they you have a greater chance of rejecting the pancreas because of the diabetes also the ability to heal is slowed so its not likely that your doctor will do that for you if you want to live almost needle free get a pump and try that out your diabetes will be much better after pump therapy.

At the office of the Opthalmologist who also does surgery on eyes.  \n\nWhen the technician tests each of your eyes, she tends to rush it because there are so many times she must ask you, "Which is clearer, this one or this one, 1 or 2? And if you are to answer correctly somewtimes it takes another second or two.  And it is important that you answer accurately.  If she is impatient and says, "Oh probably they are both the same," and you don't stop her, she may very well put down the wrong numbers into the machine  which will judge what your glasses will be.  Dont be rushed to the extent that you pay several hundreds of dollars for glasses that are not what you need.  \nWhen it happens the opthalmologist can go over those trouble spots where the technician thought there was no choice, and help you get the   right    choice, and help you get the best eye glasses you ever had in your life.

A friend of mine had surgery on his lazy eye and it was  quite an improvement.  You wouldn't even now that he had had one if he didn't point it out to you.\nGood Luck

My father had lasik surgery on both of his eyes (Cleveland clinic) and since then he has had perfect vision, would i recommend it?  Due to the fact that it is no longer that new of a technique it isn't as expensive as it used to be when lasik first came out.  If you have the money...my advice is to go for it!  ...It does not ruin the kidneys...if you want some factual advice talk to your Doctor or look it up on the Internet.

Primarily because one can get donors from the family, thus reducing the chances of foreign proteins causing rejection.  Kidney transplants come from living people, thus are always extremely fresh-and the person can be carefully chosen to match a great number of protein markers.  This is not true for heart transplants, which must come from terminal victims, and in which they must merely take the best match, no matter how bad it is.

its safe and easy. if it fails, it can be redone with no problems.  do it when you are 25 years of age or older to insure that your vision wont worsen and is stable.

usually there are no donor complications.  Go to \nwww.kidneyfoundation.org for more information.\nMy husband received a cadavaric kidney on Oct.30, 2005 incidentally..so I am way familiar with transplant.

Best money that i ever spent.   Had a prescription (for contracts) of -6.5 in both eyes - so my eyesight was terrible.   Had both eyes done at the same time - better than 20;20 vision after recovery.  Hurts a little bit straight after, but recovery time is quick - everything was fine after 2-3 days.  \n\nWould advise anybody to have it done.

I also had the surgery about 6 years ago now, so I imagine that technology has greatly improved since then. I really didn't experience any pain with the procedure, but it was a little weird. It worked great and is still working. Usually they tell you you can't do certain things for like a month afterwards while your eye heals up completely, but I suppose it depends on what type of surgery you are getting (they have different kinds now.) I'd say go for it. It's great not to have to wear glasses or contacts.

Anyone who's ever had an organ transplant is "a creature made of sets of cells containing different DNA".\n\nIt's not impossible that you could graft or grow bits belonging to different animals into one single body, but it would take some advances in molecular biology to do it. You can't just snip the "genes for a head" from a lion and the "genes for a tail" from a snake, it's much more complicated than that.\n\nThat said, a mouse was grown a few years back that had a fully grown human ear on its back. It was supposed to indicate that replacement organs could be grown for people.

I have had this done and you have to be ready for a comprimise. (depending on your age)\n\nI love being able to see at a distance with out glasses.  I can now wear regular sunglasses as well.  \nBut since I am 42 I have to use reading glasses now.  Where as before the surgery I did not.\n\nAll in all it is absolutely worth it "in my case" as having to wear reading glass' on occaision is much better than regular glass' all of the time.\n\nThe procedure is quick relativily painless, I would say discomfort but not pain.\nFor the 24 hours after it feels like you have spent a day at the beach where your eyes feel really tired from to much sun.\n\nI was able to see fairly clear right after he was done and the next day it was amazing !!!\n\nAlthough 1500 lbs is a bit high, I think that would be about $2600 American per eye.  \n\nBut if that is the going rate in UK then you have to pay it...
