Researcher Jay Neitz said: “If we could find a way to do this with complete safe

We hope the technology will be useful in correcting a lot of different vision disorders. “ Professor Neitz used gene therapyinjections of genesto allow two male squirrel monkeys called Sam and Dalton to see i

12、n full color for the first time. Like some humans with red-green colour blindness, the monkeys lacked a pigment that the conesthe colourdetector cells at the back of the eyeneed to see red and green. As a result, they saw both red and green as shades of grey. Other colours, such as orange, blue and

13、brown appeared washed-out. To correct their vision, the US scientists injected the monkey“s eyes with millions of copies of a gene needed to make the missing pigment, the journal Nature reports.

The technique could also be adapted to treat other conditions that involve problems with genes in the colour and detail-detecting cone cells at the back of the eye. These include age-related macular degeneration, in which the deterioration
