Optogenetic strategies can serve as translational research tools to study retinal degeneration pathogenesis and identify clinically relevant therapeutic targets.
Ophthalmic optogenetics is being explored in pre-clinical and phase I/II clinical settings as a potential treatment approach for major blinding eye diseases including glaucoma and retinitis pigmentosa.
Optogenetic visual restoration strategies are attractive because they are agnostic to the genetic causes of retinal degeneration, potentially broadening treatability across retinal dystrophic and degenerative diseases.
