Stem cell therapy for macular degeneration is an emerging treatment approach aimed at restoring vision in people with forms of macular degeneration, including age-related macular degeneration. It involves transplanting stem cells into the retina to replace retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptor cells damaged or lost to the disease. Clinical trials have shown promise in stabilizing or improving visual function, though the therapy remains inefficient.
