sight restoration research

Sight restoration research focuses on developing methods to restore vision to people with visual impairments, particularly those affected by conditions like macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, or other retinal diseases. This research explores techniques such as gene therapy, which involves correcting genetic defects, and advanced technologies like retinal implants and prosthetic devices. Researchers also study stem cells to repair damaged retinal cells. The goal is to improve or restore the ability to see, enhancing the quality of life for individuals with vision loss while advancing our understanding of the eye and visual system.
