Eye specialists and surgeons may soon have a new tool to cure blindness and restore loss of vision.

A team of international scientists claim to have developed a new eye jab that they claim could cure blindness.

Eye specialists and surgeons may soon have a new tool to cure blindness and restore loss of vision.

The new eye injection, which costs £2,000, could stop onset of blindness and can also help restore loss of vision.

Scientists hope the breakthrough steroid implant, which releases an anti-inflammatory drug near the retina, could save the sight of hundreds of thousands of people every year.

As of their new invention, the Britain’s Yorkshire Eye Hospital which carried out the study in association with a team of international scientists says that the new steroid implant is used to prevent the sudden loss of sight caused by a blockage of veins at the rear of the eye.

The jab can also be used to prevent blindness caused by other causes such as diabetes and age related macular degeneration, said the experts.

"This is very exciting and could be used in a wide potential range of sight loss problems. The results are astounding," the Daily Express quoted Shafiq Rehman, a specialist at the Yorkshire Eye Hospital in Bradford, as saying.

The treatment currently is only available privately and still needs to be assessed by the Government health and drug watchdog, the National Institute for Clinical Excellence.
