Is there such a thing as a whole-eye transplant surgery?

At this time, there are no whole-eye transplants in humans. Some have been done in animals or rodents, but even with them, I am not sure how much vision was obtained, because the main emphasis was to just keep the optic nerve healthy after the whole-eye transplant. If the optic nerve remained fairly healthy, there is a possibility that would be measurable vision. I

Using eye drops on a daily basis is not a problem IF they are lubricating eye drops, or if they are prescribed to be used every day. Problems arise when certain prescribed eye drops, such as steroids, are overused, or used longer than the period the doctor indicated. Make sure the doctor's orders are always followed. Other problems arise when a person is using Visine on a daily basis or other "get the red out" drops on a daily basis. These can dry your eyes out, and also constrict the blood vessels in the eye so that not enough oxygen and nutrients are getting to the areas needed. If the "red-out" drops are used too much, even more/new blood vessels will grow, and your eyes will become twice as red as what they were originally -- and nobody wants that. So, try to avoid the drops that say "get-the-red-out" and switch over to artificial tears. If you have chronic red eyes, make an appointment with your optometrist or eye care provider.
