Role of Oxidative Stress in Ocular Diseases Associated with Retinal Ganglion Cells Degeneration
Antioxidants, 2021 Ocular diseases associated with retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration is the most common neurodegenerative disorder that causes irreversible blindness worldwide. It is characterized by visual field defects and progressive optic nerve atrophy.

Gene therapy for optic nerve disease [PDF]
Eye, 2004 There has been recent interest in the potential use of gene therapy techniques to treat ocular disease. In this article, we consider the optic nerve diseases that are potentially most amenable to gene therapy.We discuss the recent success of gene transfer experiments in animal models of glaucoma, optic neuritis, Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy ...
