Below is a photograph of a man who was excavating in 2006. He is nineteen years old. And then the same man after his face was rebuilt in a third world hospital.

He would have been able to keep his eyes if he has been wearing goggles. Severe facial damage is not an irreparable loss of function and is not in the same disabling category as eye loss.

Blindness is common, whereas this much facial damage is rare - he was directly above a land mine and the raised visor may even have contained the blast. People are often blinded by blast and blast debris that does not leave any permanent facial scarring. MOST deminers blinded today were "wearing" visors, and most do not have badly scarred faces.

His face was repaired in a third world country? I wonder if he would have had a better job done in a non third world country?

He'll live and not bad of a re-construction of the face via 3rd world country. well at least alot of the scarring will go away.
