ocular gene therapy

Ocular gene therapy is a medical approach that aims to treat eye disorders by delivering genes into the eye. These genes can help restore or replace defective genes responsible for various vision problems, such as inherited retinal diseases. The therapy often uses viruses as delivery vehicles to carry the healthy genes into the affected cells. By correcting the underlying genetic issues, ocular gene therapy can potentially improve vision, halt disease progression, or even cure specific conditions. This innovative treatment offers hope for patients who have limited or no options for restoring their sight.
