Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Stem-cell therapy could potentially cure blindness even in the late stages of disease. Because stem cells can be coaxed into becoming any type of cell, they could be used to grow fresh retinal cells for transplantation into the eye to replace those that have been lost.
Detailed explanation-2: -Scientists are developing an effective stem cell-based therapy to regenerate photoreceptors cells and restore sight in people with blindness. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, US have made significant progressed towards a cell-based therapy to treat blindness.
Detailed explanation-3: -Macular degeneration cannot be reversed. However, doctors can slow the progression of this eye disease.
