Described as “a new concept for correcting refractory problems”, the nanodrops developed by ophthalmologist Dr. David Smadja and a team of scientists from Shaare Zedek Medical Center and Bar-Ilan University have so far been tested on animals with damaged corneas.
During a recent presentation, Smadja said that the eye-drops repaired the animal corneas, producing improvements in both short-sightedness and long-sightedness.
