Scientists Restore Limited Vision in Blind Patients Using Gene Therapy and Special Goggles

Scientists have demonstrated a promising new approach to restoring limited vision in people with advanced inherited blindness. An experimental treatment combining gene therapy with specialized goggles has helped some people with advanced blindness detect objects and respond to visual cues. Instead of attempting to repair damaged light-sensing cells, the approach gives surviving retinal cells a [...]
