Reply to comment by terpin in Lab-grown retinal eye cells make successful connections, open door for clinical trials to treat blindness by chrisdh79

I've got Retinitis Pigmentosa. One eye is next to useless and I'm only 28. God, I hope this can help me one day.

My mom has RP. She is 76 and completely blind. She found out in 1972 when she was 25 that she had it. She was born with a hearing loss, so together its Ushers Syndrome.

I found out when I was 11 or so. Thankfully, I don't have hearing loss.
