In the last few decades, stem cell research has developed groundbreaking technologies to both study and treat diseases. This research has proven fruitful for the field of ophthalmology, especially in recent years. With its relative immune privilege, the eye has proven an ideal testing ground for stem cell therapies. This book describes just a few of these developing treatments. The authors of this book describe a wide range of possible applications, from oculofacial plastic surgery to the restoration of sight lost by degenerative disorders and glaucoma, to cancer research.
