Wait I remember those ads and I’m now confused.

If vision-restoring eye transplants are the novel domain of futuristic moonshot research, how did Jerry Orbach’s eye donation give the “gift of sight for two New Yorkers” twenty years ago?

EDIT: Ah I follow now: he donated his corneas, which is a more routine procedure than an aspirational, vision-restoring full eye transplant
