Blind Mother's Vision Restored through Pioneering Stem Cell Transplant

Deborah, who lost sight in both eyes due to accidents, regained her vision through a pioneering stem cell transplant. The procedure involved using stem cells from a deceased donor, grown into a thin layer and placed over her eyes with a biological bandage. This innovative method, developed over five years, has been performed on over 20 patients at the Queen Victoria Hospital in the UK. While not without risks, it offers a lower complication rate compared to traditional cornea transplants. Deborah's vision is now restored, allowing her to drive.
