CELL CULTURE FOR OCULAR RESEARCH

 

Around the world, millions of patients currently suffer from incurable vision loss. Vision impairing diseases are becoming more common as the population ages. In aging societies, disorders such as macular degeneration or retinitis pigmentosa constitute a leading cause of disability. Globally, the prevalence of ocular diseases is constantly rising. For most of them, there is no effective therapy available. Scientists are trying to accelerate the conversion of basic research on origins of ocular diseases into innovative treatments which change the field of ophthalmic therapy.
