Man blinded by fireworks grows new eye in revolutionary procedure
77% Informative
Nick Kharufeh , 28 , was blinded in Fourth of July fireworks accident in California .
A stray firework exploded at ground level, sending shrapnel into his left eye.
The injury left him permanently blind in that eye, until a new stem cell treatment gave him his vision back.
The transplant, which took stem cells from his healthy right eye, helped restore partial vision to his injured eye, though it is not perfect.
Experts say the safest option is to watch professional public displays from at least 500 feet away.
Never allow children to handle sparklers, firecrackers, or bottle rockets.
Sparklers alone burn at more than 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit , which is hot enough to melt metal.
Homemade fireworks are also a major hazard and should never be attempted.
