Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to explore the relationship between structural changes and functional impairment in retinal degenerative diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa. Through clinical observation, the degeneration mechanism of photoreceptor cells and its impact on visual function will be analyzed, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and intervention. In addition, the Special Issue will also discuss emerging treatment strategies, including gene therapy, cell therapy, and drug intervention, to guide clinical practice. Moreover, investigations of structural changes in the visual pathway observed in patients with retinal dystrophies are also welcome, as they may be important in future clinical trials. We hope that the publication of this Special Issue will promote the understanding and research of retinal degenerative diseases.
Prof. Dr. Katarzyna Nowomiejska
Guest Editor
