In addition, the subjects said the vision in their treated eyes was slightly improved in dim lighting conditions.<img src="http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/387222794" height="1" width="1" /></p> http://science-nature.marc8.com/gene-therapy-blindness-improves-vision-safety-study-indicat#comments congenital amaurosis dim lighting lighting conditions safety trial vision safety http://science-nature.marc8.com/crss/node/7825 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 22:45:07 -0500 admin 7825 at http://science-nature.marc8.com http://science-nature.marc8.com/gene-therapy-improves-vision-patients-congenital-retinal <p>Researchers have used gene therapy to safely restore vision in three young adults with a rare form of congenital blindness -- Leber congenital amaurosis. Although the patients have not achieved normal eyesight, the preliminary results set the stage for further studies of an innovative treatment for this and possibly other retinal diseases.<img src="http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/279040488" height="1" width="1" /></p> http://science-nature.marc8.com/gene-therapy-improves-vision-patients-congenital-retinal#comments Top stories congenital amaurosis congenital blindness gene therapy innovative treatment retinal diseases http://science-nature.marc8.com/crss/node/4117 Sun, 27 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0500 admin 4117 at http://science-nature.marc8.com
