Clinical Report: Optoretinography: The Next Frontier in Photoreceptor Analysis?
Overview
Optoretinography (ORG) is a promising non-invasive method for assessing photoreceptor function in vivo, potentially transforming clinical practice. Recent advancements have brought ORG closer to clinical application, highlighting its utility in monitoring treatment responses and stratifying patients for clinical trials.
Background
The assessment of photoreceptor health has traditionally relied on structural imaging techniques, which do not provide insights into cellular function. ORG offers a novel approach by measuring the functional responses of photoreceptors to light stimuli, which could enhance the understanding of retinal diseases and improve patient management. As gene therapies and other interventions advance, the need for objective biomarkers of photoreceptor function becomes increasingly critical.
