3:18Now PlayingDoctors say they have achieved the previously impossible - restoring sight and preventing blindness in people with a rare but dangerous eye condition called hypotony.
Moorfields hospital in London is the world's first dedicated clinic for the disorder and seven out of eight patients given the pioneering treatment have responded to the therapy, a pilot study shows.
