Abstract
⺠There are currently no successful treatments for inherited retinal degeneration. ⺠Reactive oxygen species are common to all neurodegenerative diseases. ⺠Nanoceria destroy ROS and slow inherited retinal degeneration in tubby mice. ⺠Nanoceria may slow progression of macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. ⺠Nanoceria may also be therapeutically beneficial in many ocular diseases.
