Stem cell cure for blindness tested - BBC News

Показать описание

Surgeons in London have used human embryonic stem cells in a pioneering attempt to cure blindness. Cells derived from a donated early embryo were implanted into the retina of a 60-year-old woman with age-related macular degeneration - the most common cause of blindness in the UK.
Fergus Walsh reports.

I feel so bad for people suffering with macular degeneration.
My 81 yo mother is suffering with it since her 60s and I tell you the majority of us take our vision for granted.
I PRAY these doctors and researchers are successful.
I cannot imagine losing my vision, it is everything we do, literally.

We can travel through space, have flying cars, we've been to the moon and we plan to go to Mars, but we still don't have a cure for the illness as old as time, blindness.

I went for a simle eye test, nothing wrong with eyes, had a glaucoma test, that night I had cobwebs and flashes in my vision, told I could have a detached retina, had another optometrist look at my eye, said everything was OK, but I had a black spot, now I cannot see out of that eye.
Strange but true.😢

Is there any way to get in touch with these ophthalmologists or researchers? I wonder if this could work for patients that have undergone cataract removal procedure and also YAG laser procedure, that would be amazing possibly get rid of all my floaters and weird eye problems
