QUESTION: In order to restore sight sense to blind people, how is 3D printing of optic nerve progressing, or those kinds of things do not exist yet? ANSWER: At present (20230317), 3D printing of optic nerves or other complex biological structures is not possible due to the complexity of these structures and the limitations of current 3D printing technology. While there have been some advances in the use of 3D printing for creating models of the eye and optic nerve for research and surgical planning purposes, these models do not contain living cells and cannot be used to restore vision to blind individuals. However, there are ongoing research efforts aimed at developing new treatments for blindness, such as...
