Experimental eye drops help blind mice see again
Scientists have created light-activated drugs that helped blind mice perceive light again and restored visually guided behavior without gene therapy, implants, or specialized lighting. Even more intriguingly, two of the most promising compounds worked when administered as eye drops, pointing toward a potentially simple new approach to restoring vision.
Hope for the blind. A molecular prosthesis administered in the form of drops could restore sight An international group of researchers has developed light-activated molecules that manage, for the first time, to redeact certain visual functions of completely blind animals. Some of them function even in the form of eye drops, without injections, implants or genetic changes. The discovery, published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (…
Light-Activated Eye Drops Help Blind Mice See Again, Study Finds
Scientists have developed a new class of light-activated drugs that restored key visual functions in blind mice without requiring gene therapy, surgical implants, or specialized lighting, with two of the most promising compounds working when administered simply as eye drops, according to research published this week in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. What […] The post Light-Activated Eye Drops Help Blind Mice See Again, Study Finds…
Researchers have created light-activated molecules that can partially take over the function of the lost cells in the retina. Tested on animals, the substances have restored certain visual functions, and two of them have functioned even in the form of eye drops. For millions of people, the loss of vision is related to the deterioration of the retina, the light-sensitive layer in the [...] Article A new hope for the recovery of vision: "Molecular…
Photopharmacology and prosthe6 molecules promise to restore vision in patients with macular degeneration using simple light-activated eye drops, without surgical implants.
Experimental light-activated drugs have already rendered certain visual functions to blind animals. Two of the substances have worked including eye drops.
