Unmet NeedMillions of people around the world suffer from retinal degenerative diseases at varying degrees of vision loss. Common to all retinal degenerative diseases is the damage to photoreceptor cells of the retina, which malfunction and disappear. Current treatments can begin with trying to “rescue” remaining photoreceptors. Unfortunately this strategy...
