research and education in retinal diseases

Research and education in retinal diseases focus on understanding conditions affecting the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. This includes studying causes, symptoms, and treatments for diseases like age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinitis pigmentosa. Educational efforts aim to inform patients and healthcare professionals about prevention, early detection, and advancements in therapies such as gene therapy and retinal implants. By improving knowledge and treatment options, researchers aim to preserve vision and enhance the quality of life for those affected by these diseases.
