Primary photoreceptor diseases are a subgroup of inherited retinal diseases that includes retinitis pigmentosa and cone- rod dystrophies. These diseases affect the structure and function of the photoreceptor cells in the retina, leading to irreversible vision loss in both children and adults. No current treatment options exist for this patient population. OpCT-001 aims to restore vision loss caused by these diseases by replacing degenerated tissue in the retina with functional cells.
