My left eye (cornea) was burnt in 1997, I have suffered from excruciating pain and light sensitivity for all these years. This science sounds like it could change my life. Are there any clinical trials coming to the US anytime soon? Or are there any US doctors doing studies or procedures?

Good evening. I have scarring on both corneas from Herpes Simplex Corneal Ulcers, all the way through the right one and would like to know if the stemcell procedure would likely work to create clear corneas in this case. And as both eyes have scarred corneas is it likely or not that the stem cells from my own corneas would work? My age is 73 if that makes any differance.
Thanks much for your advise. Howard Frostman

I was struck by a rock when I was 5. I am now 59 and can see a little bit out of my right damaged eye. I have some scarring and can see colors and can count fingers up close. I am interested in corneal regeneration. I do have two insurance medical cards.

Thank you

It seems like the possibilities for the future of stem cell research are truly endless. Those before and after shots are unbelievable. I’ve been following the topic of stem cell research closely now for some years now and this is definitely the most exciting time yet. we are starting to see the results from the flagship studies with stem cells. I’m not sure if you are familiar with Dr. Atala but I’ve been watching his work the most and he has been at the forefront of this medical more than any other. I’ll post a link to some of his work. Hopefully you’ll find it informative.

Jon:

These absolutely are before and after shots of the same eyeballs. These images came from the journal article about this work published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Those pictures seemed presented as before and afters of each of two people, a miraculous transition, but a little inspection shows the veins are not the same so they are not — as the article source reveals.
