Have you heard of tooth in eye surgery or Osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis?

Just heard about it and it's crazy and amazing.
So say you damage both your eyes and are blind. Doctors can take your tooth, drill a hole in it. Add a lens then implant it in your cheek until it grows blood vessels. Then implant it where your eye was and restore vision. This is mad science for real.

Osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP), also known as "tooth in eye" surgery,[1] is a medical procedure to restore vision in the most severe cases of corneal and ocular surface patients. It includes removal of a tooth from the donor.

After removal, a longitudinal lamina is cut from the tooth and a hole is drilled perpendicular to the lamina. The hole is then fitted with a cylindrical lens. The lamina is grown in the patients' cheek for a period of months and then is implanted upon the eye

Sounds like something Morgus would come up with.
