"His cornea was torn and had vitreous hemorrhage along with traumatic cataract. The situation was very delicate and three doctors were required for as many surgeries as multiple parts of Savaliya’s eye were damaged," Dr Parth Rana of Netralaya Hospital, who performed the surgery, was quoted by TOI as saying. Savaliay said it is a miracle that he can see again.
Doctors used 3-D technology that enables doctors to see the eye and interiors almost 100 times magnified to perform the delicate surgery. "Such surgeries are not rare but difficult. Due to 3-D technology, it could be performed in a single sitting. We are gad that he has regained vision," Dr Rana said.
