Special Contacts Treat Damaged Corneas

ari{Dal} writes "For anyone out there with visual problems, like me, news like this is just amazing. The lenses work for anyone with blindness due to damaged corneas, and could help hundreds of thousands worldwide. What's really amazing is that the inventor, Dr. Perry Rosenthal, rather than doing the money grubbing patented to high heavens cant look at them without paying XXX dollars is actually funding 60% of the cost out of his own pocket to help people who can't afford the lenses. Looks like Geordi might not have needed that visor after all :D (cheap sci fi reference. bad me)."
