Restoring vision!

A medical miracle is unfolding in regenerative ophthalmology centers where patients who saw only darkness for decades are now reading newsprint. Bioengineered corneas grown from collagen scaffolds and patient stem cells integrate with existing eye tissue achieving 20/30 vision in 89% of cases. The procedure takes 18 minutes under local anesthesia. Cost: $1,240 per eye. Traditional cornea transplants require donor deaths and immunosuppressants. This technology eliminates both. Stem cells from patients' own skin are reprogrammed into corneal epithelial cells, layered onto biocompatible collagen, and matured in bioreactors for 14 days. Zero rejection risk. The first transplant patients report crystal-clear vision 6 days post-surgery with no complications at 2-year follow-up.
