| Gene therapy has already proved effective in restoring sight in puppies blinded by Leber's congenital amaurosis, a genetic disease. |
| Another popular writer of detective stories was Ernest Bramah, creator of the blind detective Max Carrados, sufferer of amaurosis. |
| Leber congenital amaurosis is an inherited disease that is believed to cause up to 20 percent of all cases of childhood blindness. |
| In the case of Leber's congenital amaurosis, viruses carrying the correct gene can be injected directly into the retina where they will infect retinal cells. |
| Other visual symptoms may include amaurosis fugax, diplopia and partial loss of vision. |
| If there are still some who cannot see that I am right, then let them, without delay, be operated upon for amaurosis. |
