Peut-on réapprendre à voir quand on a perdu la vision ? | Cynthia Qian | TEDxUmontreal

La Dre Cynthia Qian présente deux méthodes révolutionnaires pour aider les personnes atteintes d’une maladie héréditaire de la rétine, à retrouver la vision. La thérapie génique chez les jeunes enfants dont la maladie est à un stade précoce, et l’œil bionique pour les personnes ayant complètement perdu la vue. La cécité n’est plus une fatalité. Explication en vidéo.
