Towards a Stem Cell Cure for Blindness

How are stem cells enabling a cure for age-related blindness?
Leveraging technology pioneered by scientists at the National Eye Institute (NEI) and in partnership with surgeons at Columbia University, NYSCF is developing a cell therapy to restore vision in dry AMD patients using their own stem cells.

Thank you Google for switching me into this

I need to stay in contact with the progress of your stem cell transplants. Would like to see if I’m a candidate 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@selinawagi3135]

I love this

[@paulinebharat8367]

I live in Trinidad I wish it was possible to have stem cell therapy

[@brucekenworthy6731]

I have retinal branch occlusion have had several steroid injections not much improvement. I would volunteer!

[@pauldigen9524]

A number of Liberians are also interested in the clinical trial

[@susanhanson1229]

Please I am in Ghana with ARMD, I will be interested in the clinical trials please what are procedures to get enrolled? Waiting for your reply

God's mercy nano-grade eye drops should be the last-ditch treatment
for dry as well as wet AMD (age-related macular degeneration).
Within 2 hours after applying nano-grade eye drops, drusen will be
excreted to surface of cornea.
