Paul Laskey , 43 , was squirted in the eye with battery acid after confronting his son's mugger.

The father-of-three thought he would lose his eye entirely, until a donated placenta helped save some of his sight.

Paul was given three amnion grafts, where tissue is taken from the inner lining of a donated.

These grafts stabilised his eye, avoiding further melting and saving the limited vision he had.
