Summary
This early-stage trial tests transplanting insulin-making cells into the front chamber of the eye to treat diabetes. Only 2 participants with severe vision loss in one eye will receive the transplant, along with immunosuppressive eye drops to prevent rejection. The goal is to see if the cells survive and produce insulin without causing eye damage.
