Doctors grow new eye tissue from Patient's cheek to fight blindness
NCT ID NCT03949881
Summary
This study is testing a new treatment for people who are blind due to a complete loss of stem cells in both eyes, often from severe burns. Doctors take a small sample of tissue from inside a patient's cheek, grow it into a thin sheet in a lab, and then transplant it onto the damaged eye surface. The goal is to see if this graft can improve vision, reduce pain and light sensitivity, and create a stable surface for a future corneal transplant if needed.
