	My cousin was diagnosed with STEVENS JOHSON SYNDROME and it has been a year, since he has been progressively losing his eye sight. A week ago he has lost his eyesight totally in the left eye and has only 50% vision in his right eye. Added the ducts that secrete the lubricant (pardon my limited medical terms) in the eye has stopped functioning totally leading to dryness and the dependence on eye drops. For the two patients under this clinical trial and the entire human race, I pray for their well being and positive results. Let us pray that the clinical trial is a success and many millions should benefit out of this trial.
