Treatment for Norrie Disease

We treated a child with Norrie disease on the first day of life and now 2 years later he has near normal vision. around 20/120. Measurement at this age is not exact. It was accepted for publication by the AAO Journal Ophthalmology. There are a lot of details that I will not put out until after it is published.

We are enthusiastic and hope that it can be duplicated. We would like to duplicate it ourselves because you always wonder if it is just a fluke. Nonetheless it is the most promising report yet by far.
