I'm 29 and going blind due to 25 years of type 1 diabetes, and when I was 23 had a stroke in my retina. This is possibly the most hope giving video I've seen in quite a long time. I still have vision in my left and some of my right, but reading is incredibly difficult. It's amazing to see someone get back something so needed. :')
Is there treatment for this to get back vision
Do keto diet to get rid of your diabetes . I was same free of diabetes now.
@@theemeraldgaming_yt2825 You aren't a doctor.
Hopefully we progress to a point where blindness by diabetes can be solved for everyone who needs it

I'm losing eye sight and will soon be blind. I am terrified and heartbroken. to go from seeing to not seeing anything....and having to depend on help...it truly scares me.
I hope the best for you ❤❤
I’ll be praying for you ❤️
Hey, how are you doing now?
how r u ?
My doctors told me my eyes are fine but I have scotoma and they think the eyesight loss my be neurological so I have to find a neurologist:(
he gives me hope, god bless.
God bless
Medicine's blessing, doctors' blessing,hard working people's blessing
God doesn't deserve any sort of thank, cuz he's the one making problems.
Just wanna enlight u ,no offense to u personally bro.
My brother was dying from kidney failure, and my sister offered him one of her kidneys,he refused,he told her, you only have one child, and if you tried to have another one,it might hurt her pregnancy 😭 I offered him one of mine, but he said I drank too much!! I really didn't, but I think he thought if he took one of our kidneys,we wouldn't live a normal life,at least that's what I think he was thinking 🙏🏽💙he died at the young age of 34 🙏🏽🙏🏽💙💙REST IN POWER RALPH 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💙💙💙
He seems like a very caring person.
I hope I don't lose my sight until we fully understand how the eyes work and can regenerate them from all conditions. I think without sight I would lose imagination and passion for life.

@@joeyarber9059 dont do it
@@joeyarber9059 May God bring you peace and comfort during this difficult time. 🙏🙏🙏
Yeah I’m visually impaired and I hate it this happened to me last year I don’t really give a shit about life anymore since this happened. That’s why I’m here looking for a miracle or a cure something
Imagine you loose your vision and then your doctor says it’s an STD... I think that’s when you consider changing the doc
Iam so happy for you man. I am also legally blind my left eye is gone never seen from it due t retinal detachment that wasn't diagnosed in the beginning. Already have 5 surgeries in eight eye can't drive can't see far. Iam really happy for u. God bless
I feel your struggle, im also diagnosed with lattice degeneration in both eyes, had symptoms for years now. Just stay strong and try to focus on the things you are enthusiastic about, thats all i can say.
Same problem
I hope and pray your eyes become very strong and you will see for the rest of your life
I am blind in left eye aswell and i moan and cry but i dont realise how much worse yours is and blind completely is

When I am tired of all negative news , and want to recharge my trust in human spirit, I seek out such videos 👍🏼
What a lovely sister. I hope you got her that coat!
the sister has a special spot in heaven
I love how wholesome this is, it's so sweet.
I still question, Why did five people dislike this.
Bwcause you need money To cure Blindness (Disgraceful)
Surgery failed
Who cares? there are dislikes on every single video, there will always be miserable people who downvote positive things. Best thing is not to dwell on them and just be positive yourself.

2:50 isn't she just saint, I just wish all the best to that lady, to that girl
I'm so happy for you. I lost an eye to infection and it caused the most pain I could ever imagine. Like being stabbed in the head over and over. After surgery to remove my eye I am pain-free and getting on with life. My remaining eye was not my strong eye but I can drive and use the computer etc.
Don't loose hope!!! Keep on wide open!!! With all this new technology is just a matter of time!!!
There is a French Paralympic tennis champion who suffered from chronic leg pain after a nasty car accident. Couldn't bend the knee, was always on painkillers... eventually chose to have it amputated. Claims he never regretted his decision since he got free from the chronic pain.
Sad and happy at the same time that's the best sister
great story. I'm glad you got your sight back
This is so nice!
I'm glad everything turned out great and it makes us appreciate even more of what we have.

I love this video. I'm so happy for you
I’m really happy for you 🥲
that is so nice how is sister helped him. I hope in the future, the invent a way to extract stem cells from your own body because i would never want another person's stem cells, only my own from my own body. The only exception is my family members because they have similar dna to me and i don't want another persons dna
We need to demand the government pour money into stem cell research and life extension technology research.
You big dummy 🤣 😂 🤪...
I'm pretty sure you have to be comparable!!!!
Oh right, thanks for the extremely kind explanation...
with all the shit going on its great to see such a touching story with a beautiful ending and wow what an awesome sister.
You were _not_ expecting 2020. Whatever happened in 2014, 2020 definetly trumped it.
I was about to say that lol
@@NandrewNordrew u ok
Congratulations! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Ur Sister LikeI Also Want From God Gives Me Water In My Eyes...Salute To Ur Sis, The Love For Brother, Like This No One CanDo. 💓💓💓💓
i wish i could get back my vision on my left eye but were just poor
I hope you become an eye surgeon and help many people around the world, happy for you sir
This is such a touching story.
So glad for you!
Nobody talks about how the sister lost sight- XD
Yeah she totally to an L and no one is talking about it
honestly i was so sad for her, poor sister.
Gives me hope for my 23-year-old son Christian who was diagnosed legally blind in his right eye last year, as soon as Covid hit. He had a retina detachment. Any update on retina stem cell?
This is not retina issue. It has to do with the front part of the eye the cornea. It is pax-6 gene. It is hereditary.
Handsome ppl handsome service to humanity !
update- sister went blind
Ill give my eyes 2 her!!!!!
God Bless/What a Miracle.
"he didn't have to look far"
You do see the irony in this , right?
3:56: ok NOW THAT makes sense
God bless you!!
Awesome. Happy for u. And ur sister is an o.g. respectfully meant
How much does it cost?
I am worried about my father's fading vision 🙁
This was nine years ago. Soon they'll be growing eyes.
I am half blind and need glasses to see clearly :) I lived for 2-3 years without glasses, twice ;P
My vision has been 20/600 since I was a baby. Luckily my brain is good and I can see amazingly without glasses for what its worth
what a handsome man very pleasant to look at him I am in love:)
😞 What would you do if you went blind and you thought there was no way to fix it, whether you still had your eyes or not? 😟 Cause I'm thinking if I went blind the rest my life would be pointless and I would overdose myself. 😢 I'm really concerned I might make the wrong choice so I'm hoping you know if there's a better way.
Me too blind wit my right eye I m in India may I also have hope this hppn me when I born 7mnths & kept in oxigion
I'm blind in my left eye but I was born blind in that eye ,so I was looking on yt to see if there's any chance that I can see in that eye and see how it is to see in too eyes instead of one

This research talking about cornea (Limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) is characterized by a loss or deficiency of the stem cells in the limbus that are vital for re-population of the corneal epithelium and to the barrier function of the limbus) but regarding optic nerve diseases I think it's not possible yet.
Happy for you i have a brother that is addicted to gadgets im very worried about his sight
God bless you
I want to ask a question this transplantation surgery is helpfut to gain vision if vision loss due to some neurological problems or dryness of optic nerve

Kevin Barrera Go to hell with you and your country and sister
so now after surgery is her sister blind in one eye can anyone tell me🤔
Making someone blind to fixed a person who is blind that doesn't make sense , so sad very sad , she cry alot cause she will lost her eyes sight ,
Was wondering how you are today. I recently had this treatment. Looking forward to your reply
Rob Arbuckle I’m getting ready to get this done. How are your eyes?
I had this surgery done on both eyes in 2014 and my left eye end of 2015. But now my left eye has failed. My eye doc is supposed to be one of the best. And now my eye doc tells me that he thinks if they do another stem cell transplant it just will fail again. The only thing he says I can do is get a artificial cornea. But it will only improve my vision for 5 yrs and in 10 yrs I will be completely blind. This scares the crap out of me
I'm about to give up on everything. What I have is on my family from my mom. My son will get this also and he has other difficulties such as autism, adhd, sensory issues, short term memory loss. I cant do this anymore. I cant go on. I cant even hold a job. Due to missing work for eye doc appts my eye doc saying I cant work for weeks on end. I cant get disability because it's only one eye. I'm about to to lose my place. I'll be homeless and cant afford all the eye drops and other meds and take care of my son. I cant get no help. I'm scared out of mind. I dont know why I cant get help with something that can save me from losing my vision and a form of making money or work so I can survive goes me and my son. I hate myself. I cant stop crying
@@danababy26 I am praying that there will be a turnaround in this. My doc now suggested that they will try to do the SLET instead. I do not know the consequences of this as yet but I really hope that everything works out in your favour. Is your right eye doing ok?
Sir am also suffering like you please tell me about your eye treatment please please
I can releate, I have had 20/400 vision since I was 2 I am 55, dunno how I have managed to work all these years with this problem! I just had cateract surgery in both eyes now my left eye is 20;/30 and right eye is 20/40 so, thats pretty wonderful!
i love this
Tell us how to explain what color is
I am one eyed person, can it cured?
My both are cornea transplanted. But I don't have good vision. Doctors says eyes nerves have dried up so it can't be treated.
All's well that end's well
what did he see when he was blind ?
I was born blind on my right eye, I hope I can find a solution one day and I just hope my left eye stays healthy because if something happens to it, idk what I’ll do 🤦🏻♂️
Pls help me iwant to see clearly again

It’s sad that a embryo has to die if there stem cells are removed but it happy that he got to see something again.
An embryo isn't used with adult stem cells. They can use your own adult stem cells or another adult match.

Hello how do I contact Dr Slomovic. I need help I have many retinal issues. Please respond. I love around Toronto mississauga as well. Thx
What's the name eye doctor you went to
I am one eye blind due to one accident in my childhood, can any treatment available in the world for this... Kindly suggest me, if any one have experience about this disease
Alright. I'm convinced. I am now an organ donor
The thought of going blind scares me greatly. I'm in my early mid 20s and I've pretty much spent all my life trying to become an illustrator. Recently I was diagnosed with PVD and I notice it tugging on my retina as well as several annoying floaters. Straight lines also appear slightly jagged so that makes me fear AMD. I don't understand why I've developed all this crap. I eat healthy, I never drink nor smoke...
Ohh great Bless u r
Wait what happened to the sister? Can she see??
lucky man
Is there any hope in near future for my son (aged 1.9 years) whose right eye has been enucleated due to retinoblastoma ?? Any reply will be highly appreciated. Thank you..
Does he still have most of his retinas?
@@gregorymalchuk272 no, entire eye has been removed.. I have heard a research is going on regarding whole eyeball transplantation..that's why I have asked..thanks.
I am sure he does. I have thr each same thing. This has to do with thr from t part of your eye, the cornea not the retina
Woooow family
That is fucking amazing

I think stem cells need a nerf after this update, they seem way to op
How much for that
Tori 🥺❤❤
Amen!!!! Yay. .....
so his sister is blind now??
I wonder if anything like this can be done for me and others like me. I had congenital cataracts in both eyes they were removed at 16 years old, had YAG laser procedure 5 years after, then an injury to my right eye a few years ago. I wonder if there is the possibility to use stem cells to regrow natural lenses and the 'bag' that it's held in, though im guessing it's not possible. I believe that the artificial lens attaches itself to the eye so I don't know if it can be taken out. Oh well, maybe this will be possible in the future.
Why don't you like the replacement lenses?
@@gregorymalchuk272 they are stuck in a single focus, they can't focus on things until I move. I don't like glasses, and I can't wear contacts due to having secondary cataract laser procedure. My eyes are almost always dry due to these things, plus I had an injury to my right eye also. I do not see absolutely clearly, I have developed some level of Photophobia and have many floaters due to the laser procedure. I also believe that my eyes are aging faster than they should be because I see flashes of light in the dark. I really just want completely new eyes.
I've had traumatic right eye lens removal at age 3. Any hope or leads?
I just lost my right eye due to domestic violence I’m so sad I can go to the army or become a police officer all can do is cry 😢
i have retinal problm due to toxoplasma
can it cure ?
help me
Have you seen a doctor
man should discover a special thing for eye treatment,,,,, there is nothing impossible in the earth for man....man can do anything and everything....once they must be able to transfaring eye......
Nice
Can the sister still see after the surgery?
Edit:
Sorry don’t know how it works
ash ok thanks
Soooo is his sister like blind now? There's no happy ending
Plzz help me
