Depending on what muscles survived, he probably can't focus on anything or even move his new eye around.

Still, it must be amazing to be able to see again.

This article explains it better and has a nice diagram that might help you guys:

Yup! This is really incredible. Now there's hope for others to see even without a donor.

They should put it back in his mouth so he can see what he's eating.

I dont know how they use his tooth for him to see again but that is ****ing crazy im speechless technology has really come along way. Wonder if they use this for other blind ppl that were borned blind or have other conditions that ccause them their sight.
