Residents of Izhevsk were told about the development that can restore vision. Experimental treatment helps people with diseases in which retinal photoreceptors are destroyed.

The method combines gene therapy and special glasses. A virus is injected into the eye to produce a light-sensitive protein, and glasses with a camera convert the image into light pulses that stimulate cells.

In patients who participated in the experiment, already recorded positive results.
