I'll save u ten minutes. He can't see.

[@goku614209]

This guy is a pioneer to eye transplants. I hope we learn so much from this and hope he lives long to share the tale. Amazing time to be alive

[@djolivas1818]

No he can’t see through that eye! there I saved you 10 minutes

[@ianchandley]

Aaron’s spirit is AMAZING! “If it can’t help me, hopefully they can learn enough from me that it can help the next person..”. What a generous human being!❤

if they figure out how to get his eye working, that means blindness has been cured from damaged eyes

[@nerdynanny]

As a dude born blind in an eye this fills me with so much hope.

[@vchafab]

This is amazing! My 1 year old was born without eyes (but luckily has her optic nerves). If she could even get 1 eye transplant it would change her life. I wonder if it would even be easier because the nerves from her eye to optic nerve to her brain would not need to be re-written, it would just be like a baby opening it’s eyes for the first time.

His statement to his partner post accident and her response made my eyes leaky. "Look, if you want to leave, you know, I get it." - "No we're in this until the end"

[@Musix4me-Clarinet]

Please do your part. Become a donor. I am.

Jesus Christ bless you✨

If they are able to restore sight i hope this man knows that every single human being from now to the end of time, who regains their sight via transplant, owes it in part, to him. Man is written into history. The doctors, researchers, and patient are actively laying the groundwork for humans to conquer blindness. What an amazing time to be alive. Think about how many countless people could have their sight restored again because of what started here. Human kind is sometimes awe inspiring.

[@rickrudd]

He has the best possible outlook and attitude.

[@higurashikai09]

This is incredible! Even if he never gains sight, it's a huge step forward to understanding what is possible in the future.

[@vidhoard]

The eye transplant is amazing. But also can I just say that the face transplant is definitely the best one that has ever been done so far? What a fantastic result all around. ❤

[@MrJackhammer]

Aaron has a heroic spirit. I hope miracles happen for him.

[@MashBro]

He got hurt at his old job, but never quit looking for the next one. A real hero.

[@winklepicking3202]

I can only but dream for the day we can repair optic nerve damage, I have optic disc atrophy, it’s taken away my driving licence and my perfect vision. Hopefully scientists and doctors will achieve this in my lifetime.

[@YujiSeo]

This guy just paved the way forward to help so many folks with missing eyes now that we know it works.

[@voarexxx]

This made me so conscious of the pains people go through. Bless this man. I hope he recovers quickly.

[@clay2889]

This is awesome! I respect Aaron going through with the surgery if nothing else, to provide beneficial information to the medical field as a whole.
