Gene therapy used in a bid to save a man's sight

Quote:

Researchers in Oxford have treated a man with an advanced gene therapy technique to prevent him from losing his sight.
It is the first time that anyone has tried to correct a genetic defect in the light-sensing cells that line the back of the eye.

I hope this works and is a way forward to help others with this and other similar conditions.
