If caught early, such diseases can be put into a state of "limbo". He predicts that within 20 years, it will become "curable" with a combination of drugs and stemcell treatments. Cybernetic research might become a moot point unless to bypass a destroyed optic nerve (or perhaps to be used an a cosmetic/military "enhancement"). Newer laser treaments, drugs and advanced "eye shunts" will offer long term soultions to glaucoma as well. He's been working on this disease for about 15 years and has put a lot of work into it. I just hope "Obamacare" doesn't kill it.

I just hope “Obamacare” doesn’t kill it.

Isn't that great!!! And a hole in one...Even better. My mother and father played golf for 50 years and they never got a hole in one. They would be so jealous if they were still alive. 92…and still playing golf. Isn’t that great!!! And a hole in one…Even better.
