The doctor used parh of tooth to anchor an artificial lens for damaged right eye.
The tooth doesn't do anything aside from act as an anchor. They choose to do it this way because plastics may have been rejected - the tooth has natural properties and won't be rejected by the body.
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.
