New eye drops slow vision loss in animals.

Treatment shows potential to slow the progression of human degenerative eye diseases, including retinitis pigmentosa.

The eye drops contain a small fragment derived from a protein made by the body and found in the eye, known as pigment epithelium-derived factor.

Researchers tested the eye drops in a human retinal tissue model of retinal degeneration.

Without the peptides, the cells of the tissue model died quickly, but with the peptide eye drops, the retinal tissues remained viable.

The research was funded by the NEI Intramural Research Program .
