Even with these examples, this therapy wouldn't do much. The UV radiation off a torch doesnt typically penetrate deep enough to hurt the retina, just burns the cornea. A severly detached retina results in too much scar tissue to implant anything. Color deficiency.. 1 out of 12 men have it and live a normal life. Cell replacement seems like overkill.
