Assessment
Prof. Eitan Livny is pushing the boundaries of what eye surgery can achieve. His work spans rare procedures like tooth in eye surgery, which restores sight to the blind, to the world's first transplant of a lab grown cornea using biological engineering.

The question is how quickly these breakthroughs can move from his operating room into widespread clinical practice.
