Eye-Opening News: Penn Doctors Cure Blindness

Posted on by in Doctor

We talked about Penn doctors curing baldness, now thanks to Drs. Al Maguire and Dr. Jean Bennett, there comes promising news of reversing blindness!

“For the first time, researchers have shown that gene therapy can be used to improve vision for blind children and young adults. Two new studies document the treatment of six young people who underwent the potentially groundbreaking surgery at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania and at Moorsfields Eye Hospital in London.”
