Cornea cells 'successfully' grown and implanted to cure blindness

Melbourne researchers say they have successfully grown and implanted cornea cells to cure blindness. The cells were grown on a layer of synthetic film and transplanted into the eyes of animals, restoring vision. Researchers are now preparing for human trials. The technique, developed by researchers at Melbourne University and the Centre for Eye Research, could replace transplants of donated cornea.
