Macular Degeneration: Progress and Promise in Stem Cell Research

Macular degeneration is a disease associated with aging that gradually destroys sharp central vision, making it impossible to see faces, to read, or to drive. No therapy exists for the most common, or "dry", form of the disease. Mark Humayun, professor of ophthalmology & biomedical engineering at the Doheny Eye Institute, University of Southern California, recently received a CIRM Disease Team Award to develop a stem cell-based therapy for Macular Degeneration.

Yes stem cell promises something but its still in its primitive stages, supplements and antioxidants help a lot to stabilize the Retina. My dadas doctor at UCLA recommended MaxiVision supplements that we got from Amazon. He has had stable vision for a year. Supplements help a lot and no one talks about it.
