How did they do the first eye transplant?

The first successful eye transplant is widely credited to Dr. Charles T. Campbell, who performed a corneal transplant in 1905. This procedure involved replacing a damaged cornea with a donor cornea, allowing light to enter the eye properly. The surgery was groundbreaking, though it was rudimentary compared to modern techniques, and it laid the foundation for future advancements in eye transplantation. Over the years, improvements in surgical methods, immunosuppressive therapies, and donor matching have significantly enhanced the success rates of eye transplants.
