Repair Stem Cells Allow 6 People to See Again!

Six people can see again after receiving repair stem cell treatment! Being blessed with good eyesight, I don't really know what it is like to be blind. Therefore, I can only imagine the joy these six people in London must have felt when they had their vision restored thanks to repair stem cells:

Six blind patients have had their eye-sight restored after undergoing pioneering stem cell transplants.


Researchers at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London treated the patients as part of a clinical trial on patients who have lost their sight from chemical accidents or a rare genetic disease.


She said: "Before the surgery the patients were barely able to recognise when someone was waving a hand in front of their face but we have restored their vision to the point they can read three to four lines down the eye chart."


The patients were chemical burn victims or sufferers of a rare genetic disease known as aniridia. They had injuries to the limbal cells in their eyes, which are under the eye lid and maintain the transparent layer on the outside of the cornea.


Dr Daniels said: "Their cornea becomes opaque, blood vessels grow across it and their eyes become inflamed and they can't see anymore. It is very painful.


"By replacing the limbal stem cells, the cornea begins to clear up as the cells are replaced with the healthy transparent layer again.



Repair (adult) stem cells do it again! Hopefully, I now have six new readers of this blog.  :)
