Scientists at the Southampton General Hospital and the University of Southampton have found a pool of stem cells around the corneal limbus that can be induced to become retinal cells. Such cells can then potentially be transplanted into the eye of the patient of macular degeneration or retinitis pigmentosa to stop the disease or even cure it.
Retina India is a not-for-profit organization, registered with the Charity Commissioner, Mumbai, India, established for empowering people with retinal disorders, and bringing them and their families on a common platform with physicians, researchers, counselors, low vision and mobility experts and other specialists.
