Re: Plastic artificial cornea
Thanks for that link.
Progress is being made all the time! So far as I know, this does not, at this stage, hold out any prospect for KC sufferers, but it may just offer a way forward at some time in the future.
Interesting footnote: the dateline was October 3, 2007. Today is October 1, so the report must have been inteded to be under an embargo until Wednesday. Possibly it was intended to coincide with somebody's appearance at a conference or funding bid.
