Can stem cell therapy heal cataracts?

The procedure used in stem cell therapy for pediatric cataract treatment included the surgical removal of the damaged lens, but unlike conventional treatment for cataracts, the outer lens capsule was left intact. Leaving the lens capsule intact greatly reduced the possibility of complications. Stem cells are then put along the inside of the lens capsule to repair damage and within 8 months, study participants had completely regenerated their lens.
Though the risk of complication is very low with conventional surgical treatment of cataracts, this novel approach carries an even lower rate of complication. And the ability to regrow a natural lens as opposed to transplanting an artificial one has other benefits too. Patients with a natural lens that grows from stems cells have better vision when observing objects at differing distances.
