A stem cell treatment for blinding cornea injuries, developed by scientists at HMS and @MassEyeAndEar, safely restored corneal surfaces in 14 patients in a small clinical trial https://t.co/XQ0ULfBfiI

- Presbyopia, the age-related loss of near vision, is a natural part of aging and is easily corrected with reading glasses or other vision correction methods.
- Current research and clinical trials are focused on using stem cells and gene therapies to treat conditions that cause vision loss, such as:
- Age-related macular degeneration (AMD): Studies have shown that stem cell-based treatments can be safe and effective for treating wet AMD, a severe form of the condition.
- Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP): Stem cell therapies are being investigated as a potential treatment for RP, a condition that causes progressive vision loss.
- Other Inherited Retinal Diseases: Researchers are also exploring the use of stem cell and gene therapies for other inherited retinal diseases, such as Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA).
- Age-related macular degeneration (AMD): Studies have shown that stem cell-based treatments can be safe and effective for treating wet AMD, a severe form of the condition.
- Not a Cure-All: Stem cell and gene therapies are not a cure-all for all types of vision loss, and they are not yet available for conditions like presbyopia.
- Ongoing Research: Research in this area is ongoing, and there are many clinical trials underway to evaluate the safety and efficacy of these therapies for various eye conditions.
- Be Wary of Unproven Claims: Be cautious of clinics that make unsubstantiated claims about stem cell therapies, as some treatments can be dangerous and cause serious side effects.
- Not a Cure-All: Stem cell and gene therapies are not a cure-all for all types of vision loss, and they are not yet available for conditions like presbyopia.
- Moorfields Eye Hospital: Researchers at Moorfields Eye Hospital have successfully used stem cell-based treatments to restore vision in patients with wet AMD.
- UC Davis Eye Center: A phase 1 trial at UC Davis found that a stem cell therapy for retinitis pigmentosa was safe and showed promising results.
- Gene therapy for LCA1: A gene therapy developed by University of Florida scientists restored useful vision to most patients with the rare, inherited blindness known as Leber congenital amaurosis type I, or LCA1, in a small tria
- Moorfields Eye Hospital: Researchers at Moorfields Eye Hospital have successfully used stem cell-based treatments to restore vision in patients with wet AMD.
