Reviewing the Role of Ultra-Widefield Imaging in Inherited Retinal Dystrophies

open access: yesOphthalmology and Therapy, 2020
Inherited retinal dystrophies (IRD) are a heterogeneous group of rare chronic disorders caused by genetically determined degeneration of photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelium cells.

Emerging Drug Therapies for Inherited Retinal Dystrophies

open access: yes, 2020
Worldwide, 1 in 2000 people suffer from inherited retinal dystrophies (IRD). Individuals with IRD typically present with progressive vision loss that ultimately results in blindness. Unfortunately, effective treatment options are not widely available due

Gene therapy restores vision in rd1 mice after removal of a confounding mutation in Gpr179 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The rd1 mouse with a mutation in the Pde6b gene was the first strain of mice identified with a retinal degeneration. However, AAV-mediated gene supplementation of rd1 mice only results in structural preservation of photoreceptors, and restoration of the ...

Effects of A2E-Induced Oxidative Stress on Retinal Epithelial Cells: New Insights on Differential Gene Response and Retinal Dystrophies

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2020
Oxidative stress represents one of the principal inductors of lifestyle-related and genetic diseases. Among them, inherited retinal dystrophies, such as age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa, are well known to be susceptible to ...

Unveiling Visual Acuity in 58,712 Four-Year-Olds: Standardized Assessment Defined Normative Visual Acuity Threshold

open access: yesVision
The purpose was to define the threshold of normal visual acuity (VA), mean monocular and binocular VA, and interocular difference in the uniform cohort of healthy four-year-old children. All the children were recruited from the Croatian National Registry
