Dallas Wiens, the nation's first full-face transplant recipient, crosses another milestone.
The Fort Worth father lifted his sunglasses to reveal new acrylic eyes.
Doctors at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston fitted him for his new blue eyes last week.
Wiens lost his vision when he was severely burned in a construction accident in 2008. Wiens received a new face in March thanks to a donor.
Next, Wiens will get a leader dog. The Southlake Lion's Club is raising money through a benefit ride this weekend to buy a $50,000 seeing eye dog for Wiens.
