No, the surgery would be far too complicated to connect the optic nerve. |

For some forms of blindess, where they just replace the cornea, yes. For most forms of blindness, no. |

I don't believe so. In saying that i mean it has never been successfully done yet. When eyes are donated as organs...i.e. drivers license's etc...they are used for scientific research. Our current technology hasn't yet been able to connect one persons optic nerve to the other and have them work. There is just to much damage done on the removal procedure. By the way..thanks for ruining the end of the movie for me..lol...i shouldn't have read it. My fault. |

It is possible to transfer the eyeball into another person's socket, but the eye is useless. It will only appear to be a functioning eye; a surgeon can't reconnect the optic nerve to the eye itself. |

yes. |

u could probably put one persons eye into another persons eye socket
but i doubt its possible to connect a new eye to somebodys brain thoruugh the nervous system so that it would work
the person with the new eye would probably just get an infection |

Yes...Jerry Orbach the actor (who was treated in the hospital I work for) and the father of Vanessa Williams donated their corneas (which is what they mean by eye transplant) when they passed away and they have been transplanted into recipients who can now see as a result.
This type of operation does not work for all blind people though because many cases of blindness are not caused by a problem with the eyes but by problems with the optic nerves or the brain, neither of which can be transplanted...yet
(Thanks for spoiling the movie for me by the way.) |

No because inside ur head there r things attached to your eyes and if u cut those u might die and they can't attach those to the other persons eyes. |

Yes, it is possible. It was in 7 pounds, and I've heard of it before. =) |

they have been very unsuccessful, but yes it is possible.. they have restored sight to One lady.. her sight is still very bad.. but was improving still when I heard about it about 4 days after the surgery. I will try and find the article.. I heard about it on the radio. |

You can leave them as part of your organ donation when you die. |

you can't donate your entire eye, but you can donate your corneas. |

If the blind person was blind due to a corneal problem that could be fixed by a corneal transplant, yes. |

I believe so, being that I asked this same question a few weeks ago and people told me it was. Even if I can't give a working eye, I'd at least like to donate one to science.
Edit: Who the *^%$ thumbed me down for wanting to help society? Go to (*&^% you mother&%$##$s. *&^$ on the sidewalk. |

No, because the optic nerve is part of the central nervous system. Peripheral nerves (those that arise from the spinal cord and travel throught your body, can recover if damaged, or severed. However those belonging to the central nervous system (spinal cord, all facial nerves including the optic nerve) will not recover. Another factor is the sheer amount of vasculature to deal with, the eye is very "blood rich" if you will and though capillaries may after a long time grow back, the optic nerve will not. Therefore you can have an eye - but it won't 'work'. |

I believe you can choose at your death to donate your cornea's which I think in certain cases are needed as transplants so yes you can. |
