Eye surgery and eye replacement.?

Question

Can an eye be removed and replaced (by an eye of a different person) and can the new eye function as normal?

If not, is it probable to have this type of surgery in the near future?

(This is a hypothetical question. I'm just perplexed as to whether is had, or could, ever happen.)

Answer 1

"Can an eye be removed and replaced (by an eye of a different person) and can the new eye function as normal?"

no.

"If not, is it probable to have this type of surgery in the near future?"

NEAR future?  no.  distant future...who knows?

eye and brain connections are complicated, fragile and poorly understood.  we're not even close to this type of technology/science

Answer 2

NO.

BUT MAYBE IN THE FUTURE!

:D

Answer 3

Nice question: lets wait together for the answer

Answer 4

The estimated 1.2 million neural connections between the eye and the brain that have to be plugged in right ,  tend to cause a problem with todays technologie.

Thousands and thousands of them are microsopic in size, which doesn't help.

Bionic eyes of some type will probably be invented before a way to actually transplant a human eye in it's entirety is possible.
