I am delighted to read about your excellent research. I suffered a retinal detachment in my right eye 5 years ago. Not knowing what it was I waited for it to get better. By the time it was operated on the retina was beyond repair. When the retina in my left eye began to detach I was ready for it, and two operations saved my sight. You will be needing human guinea pigs soon to try out this system, and I offer myself in this capacity — I have nothing to lose! I am 74 years old, and live in Derby, England.
I await your reply.
