" The mere fact that we've accomplished The First successful whole-eye transplant with a face is a tremendous feat many have long thought was not possible, " said Dr Eduardo Rodriguez , one of The leading surgeons on The Team . " We've made one major Step Forward and have paved The Way for The Next chapter to restore vision. "

The donated face and eye came from a single male donor in his 30s. During The surgery, doctors injected adult stem cells from The Donor 's bone marrow into The Optic Nerve to encourage its repair.

Mr James is only The 19th person in The US to undergo a face transplant.

" I was just happy he made it through, and everything was good in The Moment . "
