Wow, I wish this was around 30 years ago, my husband was on the job and got shot in the face causing his eye to be damaged, the doctor thought he could fix it years after he was shot but it actually made it worse causing my husband to lose his eye completely. He had vision loss to where he was only seeing lights. If this was around, I believe that after all these years, it would have worked. I pray they have an astounding successful rate with this, and many people will have a second chance.
