If like me you are a person who, for different reasons, has ended up wearing glasses, you will surely be happy to know that, according to a paper published in a prestigious popular science magazine, apparently this accessory could have its days numbered. Undoubtedly quite striking news that will surely make all those people who must wear glasses at all times and even, on more than one occasion, have even thought of having surgery to improve their vision in order to improve their vision. stop wearing both glasses and contact lenses.
This is one of the main problems that humans suffer from today, vision problems that, contrary to what you can imagine and although perhaps not as much as other types of research are discussed, these problems are studied by prestigious researchers What do they seek find a simple and effective cure to all of them. This time there is talk of a new species of drops with which anyone could be healed of their problems in a matter of days.
These drops have the ability to cure myopia, astigmatism and other problems
Apparently and as has been exposed in the paper prepared by the group of researchers who have been working on this interesting project, taking into account the results of the different tests to which these drops have been subjected, they would have the ability to cure different vision problems such as myopia or astigmatism among others, problems that, as you surely know, affect a large part of the population of the world today.
Going into a little more detail, as has been revealed, apparently the operation of the drops is too complex to be understood without being an expert, although, by way of summary, tell you that the researchers speak of a kind of 'nanodroplets'they would have the ability to adapt to the ocular refraction of each patient. Such is the degree of satisfaction with the tests carried out, that they even allow the license to speak that they could be able to manipulate the results through an application installed on the smartphone of the doctor in charge of supplying them.
Although the tests have been satisfactory, there is still a long time before this product can reach the market
At this point and seeing the great interest worldwide that this publication has aroused, it is time to try to find out when a product like this can reach the market. At this point is where we may find the negative part of the news since, at least for the moment, only laboratory tests have been carried out so that still there are quite a few years ahead as far as research and investment are concerned so that these drops can be legally marketed.
To give us an idea, tell you that so far only pigs have been tested, animals that are ideal for this type of test because they have an ocular system very similar to that of humans. The next step to take is to start conducting human clinical trials, perhaps the most difficult step of the entire investigation and that, in turn, is the last phase before getting the authorities to approve that these drops finally reach the market and thus we can stop using glasses.
Once again and despite the fact that the research is more than interesting, we will have to arm ourselves with patience until a product like this reaches the market. As a consolation, tell you that those responsible for the product, a group of researchers and experts from the Bar-Ilan University and Shaare Zedek Medical CenterBoth renowned research centers in Jerusalem will try to shorten as much as possible the deadlines for the development of a commercial product.
