Oxford priest gets his sight back after world-first eye surgery with a ROBOT to repair hole in his retina

Father William Beaver had revolutionary surgery inside his eye by a robot

He suffered with distorted vision similar to looking in a hall of mirrors

A priest said he felt 'completely relaxed' as surgeons performed revolutionary surgery inside his eye with the aid of a robot.

The patient, Father William Beaver, 70, an associate priest at St Mary the Virgin Church in Oxford, said his eyesight was returning following the operation, having previously experienced distorted vision similar to 'looking in a hall of mirrors at a fairground'.

The procedure - the world's first robotic operation - was carried out by surgeons at Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital, who welcomed its success and said it could revolutionise the way such conditions are treated.
