tapperon Researchers launch "moonshot" to cure blindness through eye transplants

Blind from berth here. Would not want!

I am blind and blind is me. All though I am now 42 years old so learning to use a new set of eyes would be hard if not impossible.

Having to take a bunch of pills for the rest of your life to stop your body from casting your eyes out of your face is not for me!

This could be a grate thing for young kids that have had eye trauma or cancer.

Your brain does not learn to use your eyes until the age of about 7 anyway so that could help in the brain learning to use the new eyes.
