Scientists have developed groundbreaking photoswitchable eye drops that successfully restored light perception and visually guided behavior in blind animal models. This non-invasive approach offers a promising alternative to complex gene therapies or implants, utilizing simple, light-activated compounds to bypass damaged photoreceptors.
