Can Vision Loss Be Reversed? Exploring Stem Cells and AMD.

Guest speaker Kapil Bharti, PhD discusses a new treatment for macular degeneration that is currently being studied using stem cell therapy to restore lost vision.
Dr. Kapil Bharti’s lab at the National Eye Institute recently started the first U.S. phase I/IIa trial to test autologous iPSC-derived RPE patch in AMD patients. Currently, he is co-developing a dual RPE/photoreceptor cell therapy with Opsis Therapeutics. He has given several keynote lectures and won several awards for his revolutionary work on developing ocular cell-therapies.

I hope this comes to be a treatment soon, I have dry macular degeneration and I’m 57, I’ve ready lost much of the central vision in my left eye, my grit eye is still good, but I don’t want to lose that now too.

If accumulated drusen can't be cleared away, it's impossible to effectively
treat dry as well as wet-AMD. God's mercy nano-grade eye drops should
be the last-ditch treatment for dry as well as wet-AMD. Within one hour
after applying nano-grade eye drops, drusen will be excreted to outer
conjunctiva. This is the first time in human medical history that
drusen can be cleared away out of human body.
All glory belongs to God.
