Transplanting a gene into retinal cells is a bit different than transplanting an organism into the retina.

“potentially allowing limited vision. …”

Like a general, diffuse sense where a source of light is?

Have to agree with you. I’ve had both cataracts removed, but still have to wear multi-focal glasses..no lines..as my Astagamisim is that bad. I don’t see well with out my glasses at any distance. Even the large road signs I have to be on top of to see well. I do NO night driving and haven’t in over a decade.

I’m left with no Peripheral vision, and they can only correct me to 20/30 which is not the best vision in the world.
