C0RNEA OF MANS EYE
 GRATED ON, GIRL SEES

Philadelphia, Aug. 6.-The amazing surgical feat of making the blind see has been partially accomplished in this city in the case of a young woman who had been sightless since infancy, but who through an opera ton that has been performed on her is now able to see with one eye.
 In the. operation a portion of the cornea of the eyeball of man was transplanted to hers. The man had lost the sight of his eye in an acci- dent The cornea was needed to re- store the vision of the woman. With his sight in that eye gone forever, he agreed to the operation.
 The ultimate results of the opera tion are being watched for by the State Board of Physicians and other scientific bodies, for if it is attended with complete success it is likely that the operation will be attempted in hundreds of similar cases.
 It will be several weeks before it can be determined definitely whether the restoration will be permanent, but at present, physicians say, all indica- could be learned this operation had never before been successfully per formed in the United States. The operator was Dr. L. Webster Fox, professor of ophthalmology at the Medico- -Chirurgical College and one of the leading eye specialists in this city.

of steel, and young woman who had been blind since infancy, suffer ing from a disease called ophtalmia neonatorum One of her eyes had already been removed from its socket.
 The cornea of the young woman's eye-the transparent film which cov- CTS the iris or pupil-had become clouded through disease and was ab solutely opaque. The only possible way in which her sight could be re- stored was to cut a hole in the cor nea and in that way remove the cur- tain that was obstructing her vision. To do this it was necessary to find some transparent tissue that would replace the piece of diseased cornea removed.
 When the young man was brought in with the sight of one eye perma- nently lost although sections of the cornea were uninjured, Dr. Fox con- ceived the idea of the transfer. The consent of both patients was quick ly obtained and the operation per- formed.
 was found that the young woman could see for the first time in her life. Her sight was, of course, not as good as that of the average person, but for a radius of five feet she could see distinctly.
 The young woman was so elated at the operation that she could not be persuaded to remain in the hospital and left tonight for her home. The hospital authorities refuse to dtvulge either her name or the identity of the young man who gave part of one of his eyes, to restore her sight.
