    Abstract Inherited retinal degenerations such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP) affect around one in 4000 people and are the leading cause of blindness in working age adults in several countries. In these typically monogenic conditions, there is progressive degeneration of photoreceptors; however, inner retinal neurons such as bipolar cells and ganglion cells remain largely structurally intact, even in end-stage disease. Therapeutic approaches aiming to stimulate these residual cells, independent of the underlying genetic cause, could potentially restore visual function in patients with advanced vision loss, and benefit many more patients than therapies directed at the specific gene implicated in each disorder. One approach investigated for this purpose is that of optogenetics, a method of neuromodulation that utilises light to activate neurons engineered to ectopically express a light-sensitive protein. Using gene therapy via adeno-associated viral vectors, a range of photosensitive proteins have been expressed in remaining retinal cells in advanced retinal degeneration with in vivo studies demonstrating restoration of visual function. Developing an effective optogenetic strategy requires consideration of multiple factors, including the light-sensitive protein that is used, the vector and method for gene delivery, and the target cell for expression because these in turn may affect the quality of vision that can be restored. Currently, at least four clinical trials are ongoing to investigate optogenetic therapies in patients, with the ultimate aim of reversing visual loss in end-stage disease.

    Abstract This paper reviews the published literature on a group of developmental disorders of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium which result in focal abnormalities in one or both eyes. They are often asymptomatic, found on routine examination and are generally non-progressive. Some are associated with other systemic abnormalities.

    Abstract Cases of Leber congenital amaurosis caused by mutations in CRX (LCA7) exhibit an early form of the disease and show signs of significant photoreceptor dysfunction and eventual loss. To establish a translational in vitro model system to study gene-editing-based therapies, we generated LCA7 retinal organoids harboring a dominant disease-causing mutation in CRX. Our LCA7 retinal organoids develop signs of immature and dysfunctional photoreceptor cells, providing us with a reliable in vitro model to recapitulate LCA7. Furthermore, we performed a proof-of-concept study in which we utilize allele-specific CRISPR/Cas9-based gene editing to knock out mutant CRX and saw moderate rescue of photoreceptor phenotypes in our organoids. This work provides early evidence for an effective approach to treat LCA7, which can be applied more broadly to other dominant genetic diseases.

    Abstract Background: Lens development is orchestrated by transcription factors. Disease-causing variants in transcription factors and their developmental target genes are associated with congenital cataracts and other eye anomalies.
    Methods: Using whole exome sequencing, we identified disease-causing variants in two large British families and one isolated case with autosomal dominant congenital cataract. Bioinformatics analysis confirmed these disease-causing mutations as rare or novel variants, with a moderate to damaging pathogenicity score, with testing for segregation within the families using direct Sanger sequencing.
    Results: Family A had a missense variant (c.184 G>A; p.V62M) in PAX6 and affected individuals presented with nuclear cataract. Family B had a frameshift variant (c.470-477dup; p.A160R*) in PITX3 that was also associated with nuclear cataract. A recurrent missense variant in HSF4 (c.341 T>C; p.L114P) was associated with congenital cataract in a single isolated case.
    Conclusions: We have therefore identified novel variants in PAX6 and PITX3 that cause autosomal dominant congenital cataract.

    Abstract Purpose: To review the anatomic and visual outcomes of a series of children diagnosed with Coats' disease and treated on the basis of intraoperative fluorescein angiography (FA) findings.
    Design: Retrospective case series.
    Participants: Twenty-five children 2 to 15 years of age diagnosed with early Coats' disease and treated after intraoperative FA.
    Methods: Retrospective review of patients who underwent treatment for stage 2 Coats' disease in a tertiary center in the United Kingdom between 2007 and 2012. The children underwent treatment to the telangiectatic vessels and associated areas of retinal nonperfusion identified on intraoperative FA performed with a wide-angle retinal camera (RetCam II).
    Main outcome measures: Anatomic and structural assessment of the retina after treatment, visual acuity (VA), and complications related to treatment.
    Results: Twenty children with Coats' disease who underwent intraoperative RetCam FA and retinal ablative treatment and who had more than 3 months of follow-up were identified from clinical records. All had unilateral disease. Six eyes were classified as stage 2a, and 14 eyes were classified as stage 2b. The median duration of follow-up was 21 months (mean, 26 months). Fifteen eyes needed 1 treatment to stabilize the disease, and 5 eyes needed a second treatment. None of the patients demonstrated progression of the disease to a more severe stage. Twelve eyes had a final VA of 0.4 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) or better, 6 patients had VA between 0.4 and 1.0 logMAR, and 2 patients had VA worse than 1.0 logMAR.
    Conclusions: The treatment of retinal telangiectasia and areas of retinal nonperfusion identified by wide-angle intraoperative FA in children with stage 2 Coats' disease led to good anatomic outcome, with preservation of VA in most cases.
