Cure for Color Blindness

Cure for Color Blindness
Nelson Hernandez III


US teams of scientist have been doing some research and have been successful in curing an adult monkey of color blindness. Naturally, they can’t sense colors like red and green, but now, this monkey can see them. Besides monkeys, scientists also believe that this technique can be manipulated and used to cure humans as well. It was thought to be impossible to rearrange an adult brain like this, but some theories are being changed. They were able to introduce therapeutic genes into the light sensory cells in the back of the eye. Color blindness is usually caused by disease and certain medicine side effects. The scientists and researchers are going to be setting up clinical trails with humans soon, but they are still testing and researching.
