According to a new study, a new gene-delivery system for an inherited form of blindness shows promise. Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have developed gene-carrying nanoparticles that home in on target cells and prevent vision loss in mice with a human form of Leber congenital amaurosis.
The condition is one of the most common causes of blindness in children, according to the National Institutes of Health, affecting two to three of every 100,000 newborns.
They are two diseases with two different parasites. So for decades, river blindness and lymphatic filariasis have been combatted separately, through different treatment campaigns and by different health organizations and initiatives.
There often seems to be a misconception that the only thing blind people do is…be blind.
They don’t just sit at home decked out their blind garb, hovelled up their pyjamas and dropping curry down their shirts.
It is detrimental to their overall identity to assume that if a vision-impaired person says he is going to work, they must be going to the Royal National Institute for the Blind [RNIB] or the Center for the Blind.
People with varying capabilities of sight are able to lead lives that don’t revolve around blindness.
For the last three years, 52-year-old Taradevi from Hansi (in Haryana’s Hisar district) has been suffering from severe visual impairment due to cataracts.
Her husband is physically challenged, so it is her eldest son who takes care of her when he is not working as a milkman. The family lives in a tiny brick hut, with their three cows stationed in the small courtyard outside.
Rahul Bajaj looks at his blindness as an asset and not a liability. His determination brought rich dividends as he emerged from his hometown in Nagpur to become a lawyer. Working in Delhi now, the 23-year-old is not only living his dream but is all set to travel to Oxford University on a Rhodes scholarship.
The government, on World Diabetes Day, has announced new initiatives to streamline the management of non-communicable diseases in the State.
The old lady is smiling broadly, although one eye is bandaged. She’s excited about going home.
“I work every day, weeding fields and picking fruits. I must be able to see to keep working. I was so worried that I would fall after sunset because my vision was bad. At the eye camp, the doctor said I had a matured cataract, and then brought me to Madurai, to the main hospital,” she says.
“If it were not free, I would have never been able to afford the operation!”

Banks are under-educated on banking norms and policies. They are unaware of their own apex body’s circulars and notifications. Whose fault is it? The clients are often at the receiving end of this ignorant and indifferent attitude of officials.
