Wilmington, Delaware, 20th August 2016, Eye diseases such as diabetic retinopathy are one of the leading causes of irreversible vision loss and blindness worldwide. Kounopt, the leading online branded eyewear supplier, shares some beneficial information about Gene Therapy that can cure eye diseases and prevent blindness.

Gene therapy could cure the patient suffering from severe diseases like cancer, diabetes, lung diseases and also eye diseases. This therapy can be administered to treat the diseases like diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration. This is done by applying the Gene therapy drug in the back of the eye using an injection, but researchers have recently find a new way to deliver the treatment topically, without using a needle.

The disease - macular degeneration and proliferative diabetic retinopathy develop in a rear part of the eye. This involves a substance called vascular endothelial growth factor, which stimulates the growth of blood vessels. Using Gene therapy, Scientists have been trying to prevent the growth of vascular endothelial. But delivering drugs to the back of the eye currently requires an injection, which is quite risky for the patient’s eye.

Recently researchers have developed a new method to deliver gene in the back of the eye using peptide called penetratin. On testing this new method on rats, researchers found that, when the drug is applied on the eye drop, the drug along with the eye drop moves on all the surface of the eye including the rear inner lining of the eye. This method showed potential for delivering gene therapy to treat several eye diseases.
