In a groundbreaking success in ophthalmology and genetic medicine, researchers have made a new gene therapy that restores life-altering vision to children born with crippling visual disabilities. The groundbreaking therapy cures largely Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA), a genetic disease that leads to blindness in children. The most recent clinical trials have produced very encouraging results,
