A hole in the ozone which we've known about since the 80's will still take decades to close, and republican morons will use this same article as proof that climate change is bs.

Depends on the problem. Most vision impairments are caused by bad optics like myopia, but from what it looks like, this could help those who have retina damage from uv like welders, detached retinas, or even color blindness. It would be cool if they could also use this to expand our color vision!

This gives me hope for my husband. He suffered vascular glaucoma about 5 years back, killing the retina in his right eye. Here’s hoping this advances quickly enough we might be able to fix his retina in the next 3-5 years (I realize that’s a reeeallllly short time, but he just turned 70 so it would be wonderful if this happened before he’s 80).

how is there much pollution for bamboo stuff, its one of the fastest growing thing ever and once you've set it up you don't really need to fuck with it.

Call me a cynic, but i find it hard to believe humanity will overcome it's social and political problems before we get to the Star Trek future we all want. I hope for it, but i don't think it's gonna happen.

Had optic neuritis in my right eye, worst thing that’s ever happened to me. Going through a whole slew of testing to figure out what happened, but I’m hoping this news means I can be 100% back to normal one day.

Not really, it was a rare problem where everyone globally agreed to a solution to the problem

The thing about the hole in the ozone was that the problem was obviously visible, the culprit was found and there were relatively easy solutions to replace it and deal with the situation. So yeah all the countries got together and got rid of it. It’s a rare situation of how the whole world agreed to a solution.

Why would the evil scientist agenda publish consistent improvements on this subject if they are just doomsayers who want us enslaved to the global elite?

what's interesting is that china still makes Styrofoam the bad way, the illegal way, the way that depletes the ozone.
