Hi, thanks for sharing the report, a qq: how long would thise treatment last? I'm a RP patient and have been considering to participate in phase 3 (if theres one) but was told by an RP specialist that some cell based treatment only last for a year, am wondering if there were follow up studies on long term efficacy, thanks!

[piercechan]

I participated in phase 2 of this trial. Unfortunately I had no improvement but did talk to a couple other participants that saw some improvement. By no means is this a cure but more of a way to preserve what visual cells remain.

Hi, I am from India and searching for treatment on RP since long time. I am a college student so I want to know that what care should I take to slow down vision loss ?
I am eagerly waiting for treatment....Thank you for giving us a ray of hope...

[bogusshmogus]

Sheesh am 22 and starting to have trouble reading due to blind spots interfering with my ability to accurately process images. Makes it so words seem to move and jiggle lot more than before due to what I assume is my brain trying to fill in the missing information. My sense of anxiety has also slightly increased due to not feeling as confident in perceptual abilities and potentially getting hurt as a result. Godspeed on this research

[lisharodrigues]

Doctor please tell us where we can get the treatment in India
Being dependent with anyone it's really difficult
