James O'Brien was blind in his right eye from the age of 18 following an assault in a London suburb by a boy who sprayed ammonia on his face.

Today, at the age of 44, he is the first patient to regain sight thanks to a pioneering treatment by the British National Health Service, based on stem cells of the healthy eye, and has recovered his sight.

James O'Brien with his wife

Returning to see from both eyes after all this time means everything to me. I was able to see my wife and children clearly for the first time.

Frontier surgery

The doctors of the Moorfields Eye Hospital in London removed the damaged tissue from James' right eye and sprayed him with the cells grown in the laboratory. After a few months of recovery, a donor retina was added (soon it will also be possible to do without donors).

A bad assault

James O'Brien's acid attack occurred in the 90s: for no reason or cause, James and a friend were joined by a person who sprayed ammonia on them.

The acid ended up in James's eyes, nostrils and mouth.

Fortunately, the rescue of a passer-by and abundant water saved at least the left eye: a fundamental circumstance, which 25 years later allowed James to regain the sight of both eyes.

Huge impact

James actually agreed to be a guinea pig for this treatment. The success gives all patients a new perspective. It will have a huge impact on their lives.

Sajjad Ahmad, surgeon and ophthalmic consultant

The innovative technique that restored sight to the English patient was carried out within the National Health Service by the surgeon and ophthalmic consultant Dr. Sajjad Ahmad, at a total cost of over 100.000 euros.

Dr. Ahmad visits several acid victims every week, and plans to improve the procedure to make it possible even for those who have lost sight of both eyes, due to violent causes or degenerative conditions.

Here is the report (in English) that the BBC dedicated to the operation:
