Lifted THIS BIT OF NEWS from the Dear Author site. Because glaucoma and blindness run in my family, I thought it was very exiting!

I’m off to blog at the CHICAS site today. Please join us! :)

    That is truly amazing. The advances they are making in so many areas are mind boggling. But things growing in your eyes? Rather spooky.

  • Raine says:

    Don’t think I’d think of it like that. It’s my own stem cells repairing damage to my eye, and certainly preferable to permanent darkness.
    Wonderful. I hope they can perfect the procedure for all kinds of blindness.

    That is miraculous. I follow adult stem cell research religiously and had just read this article. What a breakthrough!

    It IS miraculous, Bernard—and high time more research was done, considering the successes. It gives you that little flittering feeling of hope, y’know? :)
