Incredible breakthrough

This is amazing and almost unbelievable.

THREE Australians have had their sight restored thanks to their own stem cells and ordinary contact lenses.
...
To obtain the stem cells, Dr Watson took less than a millimeter of tissue from the side of each patients' cornea. Working with colleagues at POWH and UNSW, he cultured stem cells from the tissue in extended wear contact lenses.

Dr Watson then cleaned the surface of the patients' corneas and inserted the lenses. Within 10 to 14 days the stem cells began to attach to the cornea, replenishing damaged cells. Satisfied that the stem cells were doing their job, Dr Watson removed the lenses and the patients have been seeing with new eyes for the last 18 months.

We are living in an age of what seem to be scientific miracles. And yet some people still prefer to wallow in the dark ages and believe in nonsense like homeopathy, chiropractic and alternative medicine.
