Rod and Cone Dystrophy Treatment: A revolutionary strategy by Eyestemcellcenter

Rod and cone dystrophy is a group of inherited diseases affecting the retina, the cells that are vital for vision. This condition results in gradual loss of vision. The patients have challenges seeing at night and eventually they become blind.

We at Eyestemcellcenter believe firmly in our mission to constantly advance the stem cells treatment with the rod and cone dystrophy.

Rod and Cone Dystrophy

The retina of the eye contains two primary types of photoreceptor cells: rods and cones. Rods are able to detect light under low bright conditions while cones detect colour and sharper vision when the light conditions are better. In rod and cone dystrophy these cells die and cause some level of vision loss ranging from blur sightedness to total blindness. This disease if left untreated may lead to patient losing his or her sight gradually; having difficulties seeing in areas with little light, having a reduced field of vision and central blindness. Sometimes patients may also develop colour blindness as well. Unfortunately, the more traditional approaches to treating rod and cone dystrophy have not worked.

Optogenetics, photopharmacology and stem cell therapy for rod and cone dystrophy

At Eyestemcellcenter, we use stem cells in the treatment of eye disorders whereby our primary goal is to repair Retinal Dependent Disorders by augmenting damaged or lost cells. Stem cells can be programmed to generate healthy rod and cone photoreceptor cells of the retina to recover the vision and prolong the dystrophic process in the case of rod and cone dystrophy. The treatment process is involves extracting stem cells from the patient’s own body or from a third party. These stem cells are then well controlled and implanted and the stem cells migrate to the retina and begins to generate healthy tissues to replace the damaged one. Besides providing the substitute for the lost photoreceptor cells, endogenous stem cells are also capable of enhancing the general quality of the retina as an organ by actively participating in the regeneration process and decreasing inflammation. Using stem cell therapy has seen to have the ability to slow down or even completely arrest the degenerative process hence giving patients new life.
