Abstract

There are different types of treatment for eye diseases. Although the majority of eye diseases are curable with primary treatments and surgery, some of degenerative eye damages need regeneration that is not gained by conventional procedures. Stem cells, such as mesenchymal stem cells, human embryonic stem cell-derived retinal pigmented epithelium, and inducible pluripotent stem cells, are now considered one of the most important and safe methods for regeneration of various damaged tissues or organs. However, how will stem cell therapy contribute to regeneration and overcome degenerative eye diseases? This review discusses the regenerative mechanisms, clinical applications, and advantages of different types of stem cells for restoring degenerative eye diseases.
