New 3D printed corneas could save millions of people's vision

As a sufferer of Keratoconus, a degenerative condition when my corneas slowly grow more and more misshapen, it’s always sucked to think I might have to wait for someone die to restore my vision. I’m lucky enough to have reached the age where my corneas have hardened and it probably won’t get much worse, so it’s unlikely I’ll ever need them. That said, hearing about artificial options is encouragin, for myself and for all the others who aren’t as lucky as I am.
