Understanding Retinal Diseases
Retinal diseases cause irreversible vision loss in millions worldwide.
Understanding the biology of retinal degeneration is the first step toward the regeneration.
Why Retinal Degenerative
Diseases Matters
Retinal degenerative diseases continue to cause progressive vision loss,
affecting millions of patients worldwide.
Current treatments may slow disease progression,
but they cannot restore lost retinal cells.

Major Retinal Degenerative Diseases
Various retinal diseases affect different retinal cell-types, but all ultimately lead to progressive vision loss.
Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
The leading cause of severe vision loss
among old-age population.
Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP)
A genetic disorder causing progressive photoreceptor degeneration.
Glaucoma
Progressive degeneration of retinal ganglion cells and the optic nerve.
