Stem Cells Found On The Eye's Front Surface Could Lead To Treatment For Blindness

Scientists have found a possible treatment for the most common form of blindness using special stem cells found on the front surface of the eye.

Research at the University of Southampton, published in the journal PLOS ONE, showed that stem cells can be gathered from the corneal limbus. This part of the eye is a narrow gap between the transparent cornea and white
sclera.

Under the correct conditions, these cells could be directed to behave like the cells needed to see light -photoreceptor cells.
