Only one a headliner breakthrough makes it through to the main subs. I’ll read through it just to see what it’s all about.

To clarify I meant the technology as medical science being accessible to me via my insurance that I currently have.

I don't really anymore. I just assume optic nerve damage is going to be one of the last things we figure out how to fix. I think reconnecting nerves is a problem we probably won't figure out as a society for quite a long time, unfortunately.

Every six to twelve months.

I don't do it very often, but am subscribed to /r/glaucoma as well as to the newsletter of the Glaucoma Research Foundation, so hopefully if there's a breakthrough I will likely learn about it.
