I seen on news about pig eyes for cornea damage. will it work for me i blind in right eye from coats disease when i was 3?

Coats disease: Coats disease is a disease of the retina- back of the eye. The news you mentioned was about cornea transplants with pig eyes. The cornea is on top of the pupil on the outside of the eye. So cornea transplant will not help coats disease.
