South Korean scientists created eye drops to restore vision

Scientists have developed a drug that can restore vision without surgery, offering a potential breakthrough for millions suffering from vision loss. The new drug, developed by South Korean biologists, uses antibodies to block the protein Prox1, which inhibits the regeneration of retinal nerve cells. Experiments on lab rats showed the treatment's effectiveness, with positive effects lasting over six months. This discovery could help the 2.2 billion people worldwide with vision impairments, including those with cataracts and glaucoma. Clinical trials on humans are expected to begin in 2028, offering hope for those with limited treatment options.
