What Is Luxturna Gene Therapy? - Optometry Knowledge Base

Описание: What Is Luxturna Gene Therapy? In this informative video, we will discuss Luxturna gene therapy, a revolutionary approach in the treatment of specific inherited vision loss. This therapy targets individuals affected by mutations in the RPE65 gene, which can lead to retinal dystrophy and potentially result in blindness if not treated. We will explain the mechanism of gene therapy and how Luxturna delivers a healthy version of the RPE65 gene to the retina, allowing retinal cells to produce the necessary proteins for light processing.

You’ll learn about the administration process, which involves a single subretinal injection in each eye, and how this method ensures the gene reaches the most critical areas of the retina. Additionally, we will discuss the importance of early diagnosis and eligibility criteria for this therapy, emphasizing that it is designed for patients who still have viable retinal cells.

Join us as we break down the potential of Luxturna to change the lives of those with inherited retinal diseases and the significance of genetic testing in managing these conditions. Don’t forget to subscribe to our channel for more engaging content on eye health and advancements in optometry!
