Applications of High-Resolution Retinal Imaging in Achromatopsiaby Joseph Carroll, PhD

I always read these research reports with such mixed emotions. On one hand, I would love for there to be a "cure" for Charlotte; on the other, I don't want to get our hopes up. On the one hand, the researchers seem to be making great progress; on the other, any treatment will take a long time to get to market, with many setbacks. On the one hand, she could have greatly improved vision one day; on the other, her cone cells are deteriorating/dissapearing as she ages and her time is running out. On the one hand, there will eventually be a treatment; on the other, it will not be without significant risk.
It's such a rollercoaster. One day at a time...
