For the first time in 15 years, Spirit River carpenter Dean Scott can read signs

A northern Alberta carpenter with a genetic condition that causes blindness says he has partially regained his sight after receiving experimental drug treatments in the United States.
Three months after he started participating in a clinical trial for the drug sepofarsen, Dean Scott realized he could read again.
