It has just come up on the BBC News website as well:

"A boy whose sight had deteriorated so badly he could no longer play rugby is making good progress after undergoing pioneering surgery.

The corneas in Daniel Beresford's eyes changed shape due to a degenerative disorder known as Keratoconus.

The 11-year-old from Sketty in Swansea has had special implants inserted by eye expert Mohammed Muhtaseb at the city's Singleton Hospital.

He said the case had interested eye surgeons around the world"
