Treatment of Stargardt's Disease |
||||||
Until recently, Stargardt's Disease has been regarded as "untreatable". In 1997, the gene which causes the disease was discovered, enabling extensive research to be conducted. As a result, there may be preventive treatments available within a few years. Human trials are currently taking place on several treatments. Some of these developments are listed in the News And Developments section of this website. Stem Cell Research may hold the key to a cure within 10 years.
A treatment which is available now on an experimental basis is Echo Therapy which has given some Stargardt's sufferers mriaculous improvement in vision. Click here for more information on Echo treatment. |
