...outstanding and little understood exception is blood, which is tolerated for a while (after transfusions) if the main A-B-O and Rh groupings are matched. Another exception: the cornea of the eye, which contains no blood vessels. Occasional exceptions involve skin grafts (especially from mother to child): burn victims usually tolerate them better than healthy people; so do many patients with uremia...
...responsible eye practitioner recommends wearing them all night (it is best to give the cornea a rest), though some wearers occasionally forget to take them out at night, awake without discomfort...
...tuber-nosed Larry Fine. When Curly fell ill in 1946, he was replaced by brother Shemp, who, after his death in 1955, was in turn replaced by Old Vaudevillian Joe DeRita. Today the trio's comedy is still at eye level-Moe poking his fingers straight at the cornea. But the kids' enthusiasm has opened up the clubs to the Stooges, and the kids to the clubs.

...doctors say they have never seen a case of nearsightedness which became less severe after the wearing of eyeglasses, so that the lenses could be made weaker. But after the small, plastic contact lenses that cover only the eye's cornea became available in 1939, some doctors began to see such cases.

Last week, at a National Contact Lens Congress in Manhattan, an optometrist from Harrisburg, Pa., Dr. Robert J. Morrison, reported on 1,100 myopes, aged seven to 19, whom he had fitted with...

But, when Paycha's robot doctor was displayed at the World Cybernetics Congress in Namur, Belgium, expert ophthalmologists welcomed it because its memory is infallible. To brief his machine on the cornea, Dr. Paycha fed it a whole textbook plus references to articles in medical journals. Next project: glaucoma and diseases of the iris. Inventor Paycha believes his robot will work for any organ. His ultimate goal: to have a medical publishing house prepare sets of the cards so that mass health...
