Stem cells are effective in the treatment of retinopathy of prematurity.

Open your eyes to Dawn, close your eyes to dark.

Fabrico is a lovely and handsome Portuguese 8-year-old boy, his birth has brought much happiness to his whole family. For some reason the mother could only give birth to Fabrico by caesarean section at 32 weeks of pregnancy and then he was diagnosed with retinopathy of prematurity two months after birth.

Fabrico is smart and lively but the defect of his eyes makes him lose too much joy of someone his age.
When he is 5 years old, coming to our hospital with his family;
 His left eyeball displayed enophthalmos, when seeing strong light he will close his eyes.
 His right eye had exophthalmos, corneal fog, the eyelid could not be fully opened, the pupil could not be seen and there was no sense of light.

In this way the poor boy has been unable to distinguish day from night with his own eyes.

At present, in the traditional medical ophthalmology treatment, the situation like Fabrico's cannot be improved and he will always live in the dark. Dr. Wu has been studying stem cells to treat retinopathy of prematurity for more than 15 years. Although Fabrico has missed the opportunity of traditional ophthalmology, Dr. Wu did not give up on him and the tailored stem cell treatment program has given the boy a chance to rewrite his fate.

After 3 weeks of stem cell treatment;
 His left eye had a stronger sense of light and can now locate the light source.
 His right eye protruding symptoms have been clearly improved, it also had a sense of light and can open wider.

A month after he went home he was now able to see moving objects.

The whole family could not help feeling excited, happy and grateful beyond words. Now Fabrico can finally know the meaning of "open your eyes to dawn, close your eyes to dark".
