Several companies are sponsoring clinical development of optogenetic therapies, each with distinct approaches and technologies.

It's interesting that uses of optogenetic therapies work well with goggles that translate RGB video input to "retinal codes" that are projected in the frequency range and amplitudes appropriate for the light sensitive rhodopsins. Fascinating.

@neptune22222 Some of the latest optogenetic therapies (from Zhongmou Therapeutics) do not need glasses at all: no external devices anymore.

Significantly improved vision acuity and functional mobility, even color perception. We see patients can ride a bike after treatment." https://x.com/ZMTherapeutics/status/1974808053053562934
