Stem cells from one's own eye can bring new sight to those blinded by burns. A new Italian study describes a technique that doctors can use to restore vision to some patients with severe burns to their eyes.
The therapy restores the burned cornea -- the outermost layer of the eye -- with a graft of healthy stem cells grown in the laboratory.
The treatment "is like putting on a biological contact lens".
