摘要

METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATING OPHTHALMIC CONDITIONS WITH RETINYL DERIVATIVES Compounds that cause reversible night blindness may be used to treat ophthalmic conditions associated with the overproduction of waste products that accumulate during the course of the visual cycle. We describe methods and compositions using such compounds and their derivatives to treat, for example, the macular degenerations and dystrophies or to alleviate symptoms associated with such ophthalmic conditions. Such compounds and their derivatives may be used as single agent therapy or in combination with other agents or therapies. No suitable figure
