Paul asked the Naked Scientists:
   
It is good to hear of lanosterol in the treatment of cataracts. Is there any chance of a similar chemical being found in the next 2 months to treat macular holes, to avoid surgery and 2 weeks face down, hoping the gas doesn't get to the front of your eye and speed up a cataract?
Well, then you will be able to spend that 2 weeks catching up on all the Naked Scientists podcasts!
Thanks!
What do you think?
