  2. Gene therapy for color blindness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_therapy_for_color...

    Animal testing for gene therapy began in 2007 with a 2009 breakthrough in squirrel monkeys suggesting an imminent gene therapy in humans. While progress in gene therapy for red-green color blindness has slowed since then, successful human trials are currently underway for achromatopsia, a different form of color vision deficiency.

    Retinal gene therapy holds a promise in treating different forms of non-inherited and inherited blindness. In 2008, three independent research groups reported that patients with the rare genetic retinal disease Leber's congenital amaurosis had been successfully treated using gene therapy with adeno-associated virus (AAV).

    Keith Martin is an ophthalmologist.. He is the inaugural Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Cambridge and a specialist in the treatment of glaucoma.In 2013, Professor Martin's team tested a novel technique of bio-printing, using an ink jet to recreate layers of ganglion and glial cells from a rat's retina, a process that has been described as 'printing eyeballs'.
