My brother lost central vision in both his eyes , we went to India in 2013 to have stem cell treatment to restore the optic nerve , it did get better and this is a great technology. Would love to know more about this as our journey is still on going 🙏🏻
The future is here medical science has advanced.
Time to invest in this stock
Governments around the world should heavily invest in research like that
My son's eyes sight will improve….I now believe
As a biology and chemistry student, I'm so glad we are still able to study stem cells!
How can I get more information about this.
Congrats🥲✌️
Instead of costing an Arm & a Leg?, it’s gonna cost you an Eye & an Ear.
Wow, I wish this was around 30 years ago, my husband was on the job and got shot in the face causing his eye to be damaged, the doctor thought he could fix it years after he was shot but it actually made it worse causing my husband to lose his eye completely. He had vision loss to where he was only seeing lights. If this was around, I believe that after all these years, it would have worked. I pray they have an astounding successful rate with this, and many people will have a second chance.
Fabulous
More like this please!!!
Hence the need to harvest them from unborn democrat children.
Miracles happen, would like stem cells from my left side transferred to my right side so I can write and walk again . I was damaged by radiation. Wonderful news , in any case !
Nice news
Welcome to the 21st century!
Was that the Apellis treatment? I heard they have a treatment for blindness, they are in Massachusetts too, I wonder if they are related
Where do the stem cells come from?
I had a cornea transplant 20 years ago, I wonder if I can do this
Wow!
I'm curious if STEM cell treatment would help retinal damage
I had that surgery when I was 6 years old in 1952, now I'm 50 years old and I can see like a 51 years old man.
The miracals 😊of science and medical workers who love and care about ALL PEOPLE 👐 them ALL 🙏
What amazing time we live in ❤❤❤😊
What can the Clamydia trachoma can be treated with the same way of the stem cells based on this video?
I wonder if it works for people like with Kerataconus?
Boston has some the of best healthcare in the world…
Please forward me the email address. I am in need to communicate with this hospital regarding my son's eye condition caused by premature birth.
Wonder if this could help me?!?!
I had a friend had this treatment. Nothing happened. Zip. Zero improvement.
Wonderful news!
I have excellent memories of treatment at Mass Ear and Eye under the care of the late Dr V. Casten.
I need this.
Wow! Nice, more hope!
If it works it will never be allowed in America you'll have to go overseas to get it done .or chance loosing an arm and a leg if you get it done here .unless your an illegal then the government will pay for it .
Im completely blind had eye surgery at Mass Eye and Ear back in 1992
Wow!
What about Fuch's dystrophy?
🎉😊🎉❤
dumb people still firing fireworks. why?
This is amazing, I love it 🥰. Thanks for this wonderful information.
Nice
Fabulously talented docs n medical professionals at Mass Eye and Ear
This is so reassuring!
There are thousands of patients damaged by unregulated laser eye surgery ops that will need treatments like this!
