It’s a bizarre surgery and not for the squeamish: A tooth pulled from the mouth is fitted to hold an optical lens and implanted in the eye, leaving a bulging eyeball that can’t blink. But for blind grandmother Sharron “Kay” Thornton, the procedure was nothing short of a miracle. “I got to see all my grandbabies,” Thornton tells PEOPLE after returning home from the hospital and taking in the sight of her three children and nine grandchildren. “They were beautiful and my children – they have not changed one bit.” Seven of those grandchildren had been born after Thornton went blind in 2000 and it was 6-year-old Castyn who surprised Thornton the most as the whole clan waited on the porch of her Smithdale, Miss., farmhouse Friday to welcome her home from Miami, where her surgery was performed. – From People
