Radical new gene therapy restores sight to patients with rare eye condition – BBC News
Scientists have been using a new form of gene therapy to treat a rare inherited eye condition which eventually causes severe tunnel vision.
Scientists have been using the new treatment on patients to try to halt further loss of sight. And they’ve been astonished to find that it has actually improved their vision.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham has told the BBC that PC Andrew Harper’s killers will remain behind bars as he announces changes to the early release scheme aimed at easing prison overcrowding.
In an exclusive interview with BBC Breakfast, Burnham said anyone convicted of manslaughter will be excluded from changes brought in under the Sentencing Act, which would have made the killers eligible for early release.
Burnham said extra prison spaces would be created by deporting “hundreds” of foreign prisoners and releasing some inmates serving indefinite sentences.

Twenty-seven people have been killed and almost 400 evacuated after a Russian strike hit a warehouse near Kyiv, triggering a fire and a series of explosions.
Regional governor Tymur Tkachenko said a further 42 people, including four children, were injured after the Russian drone strike in the Bucha district.
An investigation has been launched into whether ammunition was being stored at the site, where search and rescue operations were ongoing early on Saturday.
Russia’s Ministry of Defence said in a statement that its forces had targeted “an ammunition depot” in the Kyiv region village of Myla, which stores “components and launch boosters for FP-1/FP-2 long-range unmanned aerial vehicles”.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed his condolences to the families of the victims of the strike, saying that more than 300 emergency respondents had been deployed to the strike area.

So what's the name of the condition? It wasn't mentioned once.
I have rp, but with rp the peripheral vision deteriorates first where as this unnamed condition seems to be the opposite.

It is disheartening as an ophthalmologist to tell patients with retinitiz pigmentosa (disease in discussion here) that nothing can be done and that the vision will keep falling. I hope it gets available at lower prices around the world.

What rare eye condition is this? Why isn't it mentioned in the article? Is it retinitis pigmentosa? This seems like really important information that should be provided.

I had an eye doctor drag a tool across the back of my retina during an eye surgery. It made a 3 to 4 mm straight scratch on my retina causing me to lose vision from mid eye to far upper left. I am looking for new tech to see if this can be repaired. Anyone know if this can be applied?
