The tooth, which had blood vessels and tissue natural grown in his cheek could bond with the tissues and blood vessels in his eye, the lens alone can't, thats why contacts need to be removed every 14 hours, the eye would have eventually rejected it causing the man severe pain and loss of sight. The tooth is made of bone, and with tissue and blood vessels grown on it, would not be rejected by the body and the bone would not reject the lens.

All they would have to do then, is drill a hole in the tooth and put the lens in, then surgically place the tooth in the eye in the exact position it needs to be in to bend light the right way, then give the tissues and blood vessels on the tooth time to bond with the rest of the eye.

Well why will the body reject the lens if it's put in his eye but not if it's put in his tooth?

LOL WTF TOOTHBALL LMAO PHAIL!
Anyways, I think it is gross.
I mean, I paid around 40 grand for plastic surgery that made it so that my eye sockets have skin over them so it seems like there is nothing there.... removed roots of the eyelash and eyebrow hair so it is not there anymore, and I had them move my left eye to my left big toe, my right eye to right big toe... it rocks! I can see anything now!! And to think it all started when I got asked if I wanted laser eye surgery... wow. Anyways, I love my toe eyes... much better then wierdo toothball I mean seriously WTF?!?!

The article says:
"...The 42-year-old lost his left eye and was totally blinded in the right 12 years ago when a tub of molten aluminium exploded in his face at the scrapyard where he worked."

Doesn't sound less-than-moderately severe, to me.

TOPIC:
That's just amazing, insane how far medical technology has come, restoring vision--and a tooth is involved. I just wonder if we'll hear about how well his vis---

The lens is a foriegn object, it's not natural for the body to have. The tooth, while being misplaced, can have blood vessels and tissues grown from the body more easily then a foriegn object and would have less of a fail rate. Either way, the object would have to be implanted in the eye, and having less of a fail rate is better anyway you look at it. That's the main reason behind the tooth, it can bond more easily with the eye and is a safer route then just simply implanting the lens alone in the eye.

But I still want to know why the tooth will accept the lens yet the eye won't.

I think basically the tooth grew tissues and blood vessels right? So instead of just the lens being there, the eye would accept the tooth to hold in the lens cause of the tissues/blood vessels that would attach and keep it together? Like Negal said the tissue from the tooth can "bond" with the inside of the eye and keep the lens from being rejected from the eye as a foreign object.

Think of a surface piercing in..idk, your cheek. Your flesh inside will slowly push it out and reject it, then will leave a scar cause it's a foreign object in the way. People get special piercings if they want it done permanently, where a plate with holes is inserted in so tissue can grow around it, and hold in that piercing in place.

I'm guessing the tooth stuff will come together with the eye stuff and keep that lens in.

But that still doesn't explain why the tooth will accept the lens in the first place.
