Would your sight be altered by eye replacement surgery?!
Question: This hypothetical question has bugged me since I was little. What do you think would happen if a person was to get an eye replacement?
I know that everyone has different eyes, but would there be perception differences, like color or brightness or even depth? Would the person have to learn to see from another perspective or would his brain adjust and override any differences?

Your DNA is what makes everything grow the way it does. So, since you have different DNA to the person that you are having the replacement surgery from (?) You would see everything differently. The different eye size would change the amount and what types of light entered and your brain could not correct that, neither does it have the capabilities to do so.
Since eyes can't be successfully replaced, the question is moot and a waste of your and my time.
A concept much-loved by sci-fi writers, and even the occasional song (see below). My guess is yes, but until they find out how to do it, we'll not know for sure.....
The Adverts - "Gary Gilmore's Eyes"
I'm lying in a hospital,
I'm pinned against the bed.
A stethoscope upon my heart,
A hand against my head.
They're peeling off the bandages.
I'm wincing in the light.
The nurse is looking anxious,
And she's quivering in fright...
I'm looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes.
The doctors are avoiding me.
My vision is confused.
I listen to my earphones,
And I catch the evening news.
A murderer's been killed,
And he donates his sight to science.
I'm locked into a private ward.
I realise that I must be...
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes.
Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes.
I smash the light in anger.
Push my bed against the door.
I close my lids across my eyes,
And wish to see no more.
The eye receives the messages,
And sends them to the brain.
No guarantee the stimuli must be perceived the same...
When looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes.
Gary don't need his eyes to see.
Gary and his eyes have parted company.
