There is new hope for people who suffer from macular degeneration.

Macular degeneration causes the center of your vision area to blur and deteriorate, but researchers say replacing cells in the filling wall of the retina could cure the condition.

"You're actually giving them a cell. This is a whole entity if you want to call it anything, and that's just a different way of looking at treating people. It truly is regeneration in terms of putting something back that is gone, so it's a major step forward," said Peter Coffey at the University College London.
