Hope for many people who have lost half their vision is glowing as doctors practiee the a?e old art of tattooing. The needlework also is being prac ticed to remove the appearance ot sear tissues elsewhere on the ,Wdy. tu ev e Although practitioners say eye itatooinn cannot be done in every ca;e. thev are satisfied i r..m,.iwH,,i.t strides will be made toward a more aeneral application of this work. The doctor who tattooed the eyes 't these two young Charleston wo men says. -It makes I heir eyes ap pear quite normal, brightens up I heir facial expression and removes a cause of personal embarrassment. Most artificial eyis are so obvious ly artificial. Tattooed eyes move in uniMin with their sighted mates, and copy ins: in color can be much more exact." In telling hi si(,r he asked that hi- name not be used. He now is making a serious study and appli cation of this new practice. "My facilities are by no means elaborate. In fact, just myself and a nurse have been working on this project here." he said. "But after several trials, we are convinced any eve surgeon with a 'feel' for color can do the job." He described the case of the stu dent: "Her parents brought her to me after they had visited manv occu- lists and surgeons. Thev were told nothing could be done. The eye was too far gone for a corneal transplant in any attempt to re store vision The eye was entirely wcnie. ne usea Dlue tor thd iris, black for the pupil aid a few flecks of gold in the blue for life-like! lustre" He said it takes more than) one tattooing operation to give the eye a normal color. ! Small discomfort this disap pearing within one or two days is felt by the patient. As some have light sight in the damaged eye. the patients are placed in a darkened room after treatment to prevent any visual disturb ance. Tattooing discomfort is less bothersome after the first treat ment, said the specialist. Duke University hosnit.nl . search experts say tattooing may improve the sight in some partly damaged eyes like those over which a growth may distort the entrance of light. This tattooing, they said in a report, has the effect of increasing light by obstructing some annoying rays that reach the seeing portion of the eye. cere ' '" .
