We are running faster in the bionic race now than we did a year back. But because the inceptions are paving new hopes and dimensions for the differently abled, I in particular have started symbolizing myself with the evolution. Such again is this new surgical revelation that embeds a contact lens in a blind person’s eye to help him see again over a few weeks’ time. With the use of a person’s own stem cells placed over the lens, the surgery helps heal the individual’s affected cornea.
Developed by the team from the University of New South Wales, the stem cells from the eyes of the patient are removed, and then they are coated on the contact lenses, which when operated into the eye move off the lenses and grow themselves over the cornea. The contact lenses used in the operation can be used after the surgery too, and the scientists are also hoping to use the technique in other parts of the eyes and the body.
