Yep, cochlear implants and corneal transplantation are both awe inspiring accomplishments. +1 for Humanity making the world just a tad bit better. Our ancestors certainly would've thought we were mad to attempt these feats. Only science has managed to give the gifts of sound to those who can't hear, and sight to those who can't see.
It's all simple really; god(s) are playing Sim-City with us. Also Kokopelli (that's a fun name to say).
