The retina, a specialized tissue at the back of the eye, houses photoreceptor cells, each containing opsin molecules that respond to light, a crucial element in vision.
The loss of these cells leads to the depletion of opsins, resulting in blindness.</p>

+ <p>OptogenEYEsis sets itself apart by focusing on the development of light-sensitive microbial opsins for genetic therapy.
Our ultimate goal is to restore the retina's capacity to detect and respond to light, thereby restoring vision.
This approach contrasts with existing microbial opsin-based therapies, which suffer from narrow absorption spectra, suboptimal sensitivity,
and limited efficiency in converting light into nervous electrical signals.</p>
