Restoration of Saccadic Eye Movements and Visually Guided Behavior in Ambient White Light with Photoswitchable Small Molecules
Blinding diseases due to the degeneration of photoreceptors (PhRs), such as geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to dry age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa (RP), leave the rest of the retinal circuitry largely intact, albeit unable to respond to light. Gene therapy has been able t...

7/ The technology is still in the preclinical stage and does not cure blindness. However, it represents an important step toward developing non-invasive, reversible, and broadly applicable therapies for patients with advanced retinal degeneration.

4/ Instead of bypassing the retina, prosthe6 reactivates the eye's natural visual pathway by targeting ON bipolar cells, allowing the retina to process light in a way that closely resembles normal vision.
