Blind man regains partial vision after optogenetic therapy
A new type of gene therapy has helped a man regain some vision after 40 years.
The French man, who was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) in his teens, began to show signs of visual improvement a few months after the therapy, and was able to see things like the stripes of a pedestrian crossing, and objects on a table in from of him. The findings provide proof of concept that using optogenetic therapy to partially restore vision is possible, said co-author Professor Botond Roska, from the Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology in Basel, Switzerland.
Algae proteins partially restore blind manâs vision, study says

Researchers believe algae could be the solution to fixing blindness after one patient who received an experimental treatment had his vision partially restored, according to a recent study. Optogenetics may enable mutation-independent, circuit-specific restoration of neuronal function in neurological diseases, according to the study, published in Nature Medicine
this month.
For the study, doctors were treating a patient with retinitis pigmentosa, which impacts more than two million people worldwide, the study’s authors said.
Retinitis pigmentosa is a neurodegenerative eye disease where loss of photoreceptors can lead to complete blindness, the study said.
