Comment on Macular degeneration: 'I've been given my sight back'

Comments

I have had 4 retinal detachment surgeries on my left eye, with the last rendering it blind.

I had one retinal detachment surgery and a subsequent cataract surgery (since vitrectomy almost always results in a cataract) on my right eye. It's fairly stable but my vision is not great.

I'm hoping for stem cell therapy sometime in my life to help repair areas of my right eye that are no longer great (retinoschisis and general rod/cone dystrophy) and to make sure I'm seeing well into my later years of life.
