I'm trying to keep my chin up, but it feels like when I was younger, I was told that by the time I reach my current age, which i s 25, we would probably h ave some wild new tech or biological breakthrough that would allow me to see normally again, and well, we've had a couple of awesome pieces of tech, but the space has been very slow, and I'm starting to lose faith, and simply focus on conforming to what my reality is. We had the Argas 2 back in 2013, and ten years later, it just doesn't seem like we have gotten much farhter than that, sadly. Gene therapy is getting headlines left and right, but what is unfortunate about that, is that it seems l ike most of the nice treatment that can come from that is simply far better in newborns/younger people than it is for older folks, or even young adults. So what hope do we have? Artificial Retinas? I don't know, maybe I'm missing something, or just not looking in the right places, but it's really hard to keep faith and not get a little depressed thinking about it.
