A member asked:
Can you take someones eye and replace it with yours if you're blind in one eye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: The only part of the eye that can be transplanted from another person is the cornea. We do 60, 000 of those in the us each year for people who have corneal vision loss. The whole eye cannot be transplanted.
