Repair our eyes and do it cheaply and safely?

Hi,

I found a fascinating article that will interest most of us in Singapore, given the prevalence of myopia or short-sightedness here.

It is about restoration of good eye-sight using stem cells. It take less than a month to restore sight. It is cheap, non-invasive, only takes a couple of hours to complete.

Sounds too good to be true. The new procedure has been performed in Sydney, Australia. Scientists think this technique can be used in skin grafts as the cornea is the skin of the eye. It has the same physiological functions as other skin.

Watch the video below to 'see' for yourself.




Cheers
