Tooth lets mother see again

A woman who has been blind since her teens has seen her children and grandchildren for
the first time after having a tiny shard of her tooth implanted in her eye.

Judith Smith, 42, lost her sight after suffering a rare reaction to medication for epilepsy
at the age of 15. Christopher Liu, a surgeon at Sussex Eye Hospital, Brighton, performed
the seven and a half-hour operation a week ago using a piece from the root of a tooth to
reinforce the damaged optical tube.

Mrs Smith's eyelids were permanently sealed to prevent infection and she can see only
through a hole in the right lid. But within hours she was able to view light, shades, colours
and shapes for the first time in 27 years.

Mrs Smith, of Redcar, Teesside, said: "The most wonderful thing was seeing my family
for the first time. I have four beautiful grandchildren and I can now appreciate that.

"I can't really put it into words what I feel. It is amazing."
