::: There's never been any indication that a Time Lord can direct regeneration energy to repair a single part of ''their own'' body. We have only ever seen the Doctor do this to other people (i.e. River Song's wrist, reviving Davros), never to himself. | ::: Yet, the Doctor was able to use his regeneration powers to heal Rivers broken wrist. | ||

:::::::::In The Christmas Invasion the Doctor established he had residual regeneration energy to heal himself so long as he did so within 20 hours of regenerating. As the nature of the Doctor's regeneration cycle is ambiguous since Time of the Doctor, and the Doctor already lost so much regeneration energy in The Witch's Familiar, it's questionable he has enough to repair his eyes. The above reasons also apply. | |||
