It involves removing a patient’s tooth, usually the canine, installing a plastic optical lens inside it, and then implanting the whole thing into the eye.

    TL;DR:

    Remove tooth
    Shave down to a rectangle
    Install plastic lens
    Remove scar tissue from eye and replace it with cheek tissue
    Implant the lens-tooth into the cheek so new cheek tissue will grow around it

    Later they go back to remove the lens-tooth from the cheek and sew it into the front of the eye but behind the cheek tissue (theres a view port to see through).

    Wild.

    I recommend going to see the image in the article. It’s not grotesque but very odd.
