Chinese stem-cell op is blind toddler's 'only hope of sight'
2010-08-16

A girl blind since birth will have to travel to China to undergo stem-cell treatment if she is to have any chance of seeing.

Fifteen-month-old Amelia Filipczak from Tuam, Co Galway, suffers from hypotonia and optic nerve hypoplasia.

Her muscle tone is also very low and this is preventing her from walking on her own.

Her parents, Polish-born couple Justyna and Lukasz, said her only hope to ever see or walk is an expensive trip to the Beike medical facility in Qingdao in China to receive stem-cell treatment.

"This is the one hope we have of getting sight for Amelia as they cannot do any surgery on the optic nerves. Only stem cells can help make her optic nerves grow and give her sight," explained Justyna.
