Revolutionary jab treats ‘untreatable’ eye conditionIn a small but significant breakthrough, an eye condition that can cause blindness has been successfully treated for the first time, scientists said this week. Hypotony is characterised by low eye pressure, which alters the eye’s shape and structure. Hitherto there has been no treatment, but that changed this week as Moorfields Eye Hospital in London announced that ocular injections of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose had showed promise. In a trial, the jabs increased the size and pressure of affected eyes in seven out of eight patients, one of who was Nicki Guy (pictured). Image: Moorfields Eye Hospital
