81% Informative
Nick Kharufeh said he never thought he would see out of his left eye again after an accident.
The 28-year-old was blinded in July 2020 , when he was at his aunt's house for a block party.
A stem cell transplant can help restore surface corneal epithelial cells, which can be destroyed after chemical burns, infections.
Jurkunas hopes to develop a way to treat those with bilateral eye injuries.
Kharufeh said he will run the Boston Marathon in April for Mass Eye and Ear to raise money for those wanting to have the CALEC procedure.
"Being able to see again, look at yourself in the mirror and look like you is just so impactful," he said.
