Could Lab-Grown eye cells restore sight? new trial begins

This early-stage study tests whether stem cells grown from a patient's own eye can be safely transplanted to repair the cornea in people with limbal stem cell deficiency, a condition that causes vision loss. Twenty adults with severe vision loss will receive the transplant, and researchers will monitor for side effects like infection and check if the cells successfully grow on the eye. The goal is to see if the procedure is safe and feasible before moving to larger studies.
