Research has romanced eyesight restoration for long now, and if the
latest news is to be believed, this love story did have a happy
ending outcome.
A multinational crop of scientists (from UC Berkeley, University of
Munich and the University of Washington) have made some advancements
which offers the easiest and the cheapest way to restore the
light
sensitivity of our eyes. A chemical- AAQ
(acrylamide-azobenzene-quaternary ammonium) was injected into the eyes
of blind mice and the results show that their vision has indeed been
restored, though partially. Little quantity of AAQ can cause this effect
for a few hours at a stretch, and is quite uncomplicated and less
extreme than substitutive methods like stem cell therapy or synthetic
implants.
