      Hi Lydia!
      I’m trying my very best to do just that! The results we’ve had using stem cells to repair blood vessels in the eyes of mice are very promising so hopefully in the next few years we’ll be able to use these cells in human patients. If we can repair/make new blood vessels in eyes it can help to prevent people from going blind. I hope this answers your question. 🙂
      Emma
