A 77-year-old woman with exudative macular degeneration underwent bilateral intravitreal injections of "stem cells" at a clinic in Georgia. One month and 3 months after injection, she developed retinal detachments in the left and right eyes, respectively. Increased awareness within the medical community of such poor outcomes is critical so that clinics offering untested practices that have been shown to be potentially harmful to patients can be identified and brought under U.S. Food and Drug Administration oversight.

一名患有渗出性黄斑变性的77岁女性在佐治亚州的一家诊所接受了双眼玻璃体内“干细胞”注射。注射后1个月和3个月，她分别在左眼和右眼出现了视网膜脱离。提高医学界对这种不良后果的认识至关重要，这样那些提供未经测试且已被证明可能对患者有害的治疗方法的诊所就能被识别出来，并受到美国食品药品监督管理局的监管。[《眼科手术、激光与视网膜成像》。2017年；48:772 - 775。]
