A member asked:
Is there an optic nerve transplant?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not at this time: It is not yet possible to transplant the optic nerve or eye. Research was done in the 1990s in this area, but there have been no positive results to date. It doesn't appear that this will be possible in the near future, either.
