Great
Miraculous!
I wish they would hurry up! My dad ( who is 94) has macular degeneration and NOTHING would make me happier than for him to be able to see again!
While I do believe that it is great news for those with progressive degenerative vision problems, as well as having the possibility to leading to solutions for other vision issues, such as total blindness, this story was too short to be very newsworthy. How about some details?
Glad it's coming along.
Ok
thank you
Wishing them great success.
Amazing. Thanks Chris.
