A Bluesky post explanation

TIL that for some people with irreparably damaged corneas, you can pull one of their teeth, drill a hole in it, install an artificial lens, sew it into their cheek (so tissue attaches), then pull it out and stick it in their damaged eye, and ... it works fine!?!

let me guess, blue cross blue shield says its elective dental work and therefore only covered up to 25% and just for the tooth extraction, but will cover 90% of a flesh-colored eye patch with a drawn eye on it that does not match your flesh or your eye.
