Study Shows Hope for Type of Blindness

October 24, 2009 by Blogger Indonesia

A single injection in a patient’s eye brings ‘astounding’ results. The findings may offer hope for those with macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa, via WSJ

A small but provocative study showed that a form of gene therapy significantly improved the vision of patients left legally blind by a rare genetic eye disease. The benefit was especially striking among children.

Researchers said the findings amount to an important advance toward medicine’s ambitious but generally unrealized dream of replacing disease-causing mutant or missing genes with normal DNA to treat and cure debilitating illnesses.

    Blindness sounds extremely frightening to me. But maybe my biggest eye- related problem now is eye strain. Since I started blogging, my eyes are suffering from fatigue.

Blogger Indonesia A. Fatih Syuhud I'd love to see many more Indonesian bloggers blog in English, the most-widely-understood world language. So that the world knows and understands more about Indonesia by reading anything written by Blogger Indonesia. Don't let your voice echoes only in your backyard. "In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principles, stand like a rock." - Thomas Jefferson. A. Fatih Syuhud.
