Improving Visual Acuity With Stem Cell Therapy Considered

Improving Visual Acuity With Stem Cell Therapy Considered

I have a theory I'd like to run by you on how to improve eyesight in humans to the point of being the Bionic Man, as depicted in that 1970s & 80s TV series. Now then, you may not recognize this but a Falcon (bird) can see 8-times sharper than the human eye. At their retina's most sensitive point, the phobia, they have far more visual cells. As plenty of as one.5 million visual cells in fact, whereas, humans only have 200,000 or so, they also have phobias in each eye. It seems feasible to change the human eye with the latest BioTech strategies to be near the visual acuity of a Falcon (one).

What in case you could see better than everyone else? What in case you could see as nice as a condor, eagle, or falcon? What if modern day medical techniques on the leading fringe of expertise could make it so? How much would you pay to have these abilities? Could your brain deal with all the increased knowledge coming in? Would it give your visual cortex a run for its funds - would you change as you do when you learn a new skill? Yes, all great questions, in fact more questions than answers, but let's talk shall they?

The Wall Street Journal had an fascinating editorial published on September 12, 2013 titled; "New Promise for Stem Cells - Scientists Turn Mature Tissue In to Pliable Type Inside Mice, Not in a lab," by Gautam Naik which stated; "If the approach can be refined for humans, it may be feasible to treat diseases such as diabetes by generating fresh tissue inside a living patient," sure, & that is example, the medical applications are countless indeed.

Humans with their much larger brains could basically handle the bandwidth in the visual cortex in my estimation. So, that solves of the first issues. Next, this therapy could perhaps be done with minimal invasion, & take less time & be much safer than laser eye surgical procedure. In which case the cost would not be that high, & since all this expertise now exists, & they can do this, possibly they ought to, that is to say, possibly they can advance evolution a few clicks, who knows possibly at time humans could see that nice, but they de-evolved those abilities. Indeed, it is my honest hope that you will think about all this & think on it - & in case you are in this scientific field, possibly they ought to speak some more?
