I hope it's ok to post a link here. The researchers at University of California, Irvine, are very involved in stem cell research, using adult stem cells. There are two articles here: http://www.discoveryeye.org/eye-conditions/stem-cell-potential/194-def-sponsors-retinal-regeneration.html
and
http://www.discoveryeye.org/research/research-projects/144-retinal-regeneration-building-new-eye.html
You probably saw the latest stem cell announcement by Advanced Cell Technology that uses embryonic stem cells. They have not yet started to recruit for that clinical trial. You can always check with http://www.clinicaltrials.gov to see when it begins and to find other clinical trials in your area. Your retinal specialist may also know if you qualify for the research.
If providing outside links is not allowed on this forum, I apologize; just let me know.
