Jay and Maureen Neitz, professors of ophthalmology at the University of Washington, have teamed with a California biotech firm to produce a cure for colorblindness. That cure, reports The Seattle Times, comes in the form of an injection, delivered into each eye. That's how researchers insert the genes that replace missing proteins in the cones of the eye, which process color. "I don't think there's any question that it will work," said Maureen Neitz, who used surgery to correct the condition in colorblind squirrel monkeys back in 2009. Since then, the Neitz's have worked to develop the cure that does not involve surgery.
