Late-onset retinal degeneration is a rare retinal dystrophy that is, currently untreatable. However, this study has found that the monitoring of the progression of ellipsoid zone disruption and changes in mesopic microperimetry may be useful biomarkers in future clinical trials in patients with L-ORD
In this small series of patients with late-onset retinal degeneration, cataract surgery was successfully performed without long-term complications involving intraocular lens stability. The objective improvement in CDVA seemed to be limited to patients with good foveal photoreceptor architecture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
