It's nothing like as as grotesque as the headline makes it sound. Worth reading.

Suggested headline: "Surgery implants tooth material in eye as scaffolding for lens" or something like that?

Ok, let's try that. Thanks!

Heh, I'd argue it's grosser. It's the cheek thing for me.

I mean it's a bit gross, but the version of the headline I saw made me think it was some kind of in-mouth camera and I was wondering how on earth they routed the optic nerve down there (silly of me perhaps, because I've read about this before, but that's how it took me initially).

Grossness aside, it's pretty interesting that the need for biocompatibility made this something worth considering at all though.
