       chapters. 
520    In this book, leading experts provide detailed 
       descriptions of the exciting treatments that are expected 
       to become part of the ophthalmologist?s arsenal within the
       next 10?20 years. The treatments discussed relate to a 
       wide variety of conditions, including macular degeneration,
       Leber's congenital amaurosis, retinitis pigmentosa and 
       choroideremia. The authors explain clearly how different 
       gene and cell therapies work and provide first-hand 
       accounts of the difficulties that they have faced in 
       bringing these technologies to clinical trial, such as 
       issues relating to funding and ownership. Results achieved
       to date are presented, and the further steps required 
       before the treatment in question can become a routine 
       option are considered. Gene- and Cell-Based Treatment 
       Strategies for the Eye is unique in showing the organic 
       development of cutting-edge science into potential 
       treatments for eye disease without compromising on 
       accurate reporting of scientific facts. It will persuade 
       the average practitioner or researcher ? whether 
       ophthalmologist, health worker, or scientist ? that change
       is indeed coming and is not just a hollow promise of the 
       tabloid media.
