Graham has written a blog post about growing up in the UK with aniridia and losing sight due to glaucoma/cataracts.

He also writes about the recent initial success at restoring some sight by transplanting stem cells that began in his mouth, on to his cornea. He says “the eye is getting better every day”.

This operation was performed by Samer Hamada at Queen Victoria Hospital.

How much improvement there is and how long it lasts will have to be monitored.
