Stem cell therapy has the proven potential to treat many human disease processes, including Diabetes and blindness. Controversy surrounding its practice, mainly due to ethical/religious/political issues, has slowed the progress of research required for practical use of stem cells in medicine today. There is not currently stem cell treament commonly available in the United States; however, there are clinical trials available at various healthcare facilities throughout the country. Clinical trials "test" the process of actively treating patients to determine whether or not a treatment is viable. At the website ClinicalTrials.gov, you can see if there is a trial that meets your specific needs. I found a few available trials at this site for diabetes. Stem cell treatment has been a success in the UK for certain types of blindness, and treatment available to the public here in the U.S. could be as little as 6 to 7 years away. If you need more specialized assistance, your physician can help you discover poss

Do flies have a blind spot?
The site where the optic nerve adjoins the retina could be considered a blind spot, as the retina does not have the densely packed comes and rods at this location. We do not perceive this because igur brain melds the information from other parts of the retina as well as information from the other eye, effectively filling any 'blind spots.' So, for all practical purposes the blind spots aren't blind in the sense we generally associate with the notion of ' blind spot.' For example, the driver's side-view mirror has a blind spot that is really blind.

If someone is 86 years old and partially blind should they still drive?
In the UK a person who has had a stroke is legally forbidden to drive for a set period after the stroke (usually one month) and after that is only allowed to resume driving if their doctor declares them fit to drive. honestly, if they are even part blind they shouldn't drive. I would hope this person would not want to put other drivers and children at risk by attempting to operate a motor vehicle. Hard enough to drive with good eyesight, let alone driving partially blind.
