Did you know? Eye-drops could replace spectacles

Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Scientists at Bar-IlanUniversity’s Institute of Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials, in Tel Aviv, Israel, claim to have created some truly revolutionary eye-drops that can heal damaged corneas and improve vision.

Described as “a new concept for correcting refractory problems”, the nanodrops developed by ophthalmologist Dr. David Smadja and a team of scientists from Shaare Zedek Medical Center and Bar-Ilan University have so far been tested on animals with damaged corneas.

During a recent presentation, Smadja said that the eye-drops repaired the animal corneas, producing improvements in both short-sightedness and long-sightedness.
