The Eye of the Needle



My mother got a cornea transplant a few weeks ago, and apparently this is what the stitching looks like underneath (her eye is currently sewed closed while it heals).

This picture is from a fellow on Redditor who posted this high-resolution picture of his girlfriend's eye -- she got the same surgery done. 

My mother's eye surgeon is from Syria (my folks were posted to Syria to live the day after they got married) and her surgeon apparently does incredibly intricate sewing as a hobby.  I believe it!
