Genflow Biosciences PLC (LSE:GENF, OTCQB:GENFF) CEO Dr Eric Leire talked with Proactive about the company's new development program targeting eye health. The initiative focuses on using a patented variant of the SIRT6 gene in combination with mRNA therapies. Leire explained that gene therapy is particularly well-suited for the eye due to its closed compartment, reducing the risks of off-target effects and immune responses. The company is developing two parallel therapeutic applications: one for the posterior part of the eye to address glaucoma, and another for the anterior part, targeting corneal endothelial cell preservation in transplant procedures. “We expect by a simple in vitro… to add our SIRT6 to these preservation media and help to increase the rate of positive transplantation of cornea,” said Leire, highlighting the opportunity to improve corneal transplant success rates without clinical trials. Glaucoma therapy, on the other hand, involves a more complex delivery using mRNA injections, aiming to both reduce intraocular pressure and regenerate damaged ganglion cells. The company has already signed an MTA with an ophthalmology partner to initiate early development, starting with corneal preservation and expanding into glaucoma. Genflow sees this as a fast-track opportunity to build an ophthalmology franchise with meaningful market potential and low incremental cost.

We live in a world dominated by screens. From smartphones and tablets to laptops and televisions, screen time has become inescapable. Americans now average 7 to 9 hours of screen exposure daily, and the consequences are taking a toll on our vision - no matter your age. Digital eye strain has reached epidemic proportions, with symptoms of blurred vision, dry eyes, and headaches. More alarmingly, excessive screen use may be fueling a sharp rise in myopia (nearsightedness), particularly in children. Based on these trends, half the world's population is expected to be nearsighted by 2050.Integrative nero-ophthalmologist Dr. Rudrani Banik (Dr. Rani), founder and medical director of EnVision Health NYC visits with Mark Alyn to discuss eye health and to invite listeners to the upcoming free The Eye Health Summit (May 1 - May 7th). The problem goes beyond discomfort. Increased screen exposure strains the eye's focusing system, leads to poor blinking habits, and exposes us to high-energy blue light, which interferes with sleep cycles and may contribute to retinal damage.Nearly 20 million Americans have age-related macular degeneration (AMD), with 1 in 10 adults over 50 showing early signs.

RESTORING AND MAINTAINING EYESIGHT. Professor Sheng Lim is an internationally renowned ophthalmologist and consultant at St Thomas' Hospital in London.  He was trained in the UK and also spent one year as the International Glaucoma Association's postdoctoral fellow at the Mayo Clinic, Minnesota. He was promoted to Professor of Ophthalmology (Glaucoma Studies) at King's College London in 2020, in recognition of his contribution towards ophthalmology research. He is currently the head of ophthalmology research at St Thomas', and founder of their KCL Frost Eye Research Department, one of the largest ophthalmology clinical trial units in the UK. “My ultimate goal, as a professor in glaucoma research, is to find a cure for glaucoma and prevent blindness.” “Vision is probably one of the most intimate and important sensory organs that a human being has.” “In the UK and Europe we have more choices, better suited for the patients, than they have in America.”

Did you know that the more you wear your glasses, the stronger prescription you'll need?Contrast sensitivity loss is an eye problem doctors don't commonly check for. This condition affects the ability to differentiate between shades of grey, causing blurry vision, especially in low light. Carotenoids are antioxidants that protect the eyes against blue light, chemicals, damage from diabetes, and more. However, as we age, carotenoids decrease, so eye protection also decreases. Full-spectrum light can be helpful but will not solve the problem. To improve eyesight, you need to increase the efficiency of the retina. Sunlight is vital for eye and retina health. It allows UV and infrared light into the eye and can also help build up the eye's melatonin.You can increase carotenoids in the eye by consuming foods with lutein and zeaxanthin. Both carotenoids are found in egg yolks.If you choose supplements with lutein and zeaxanthin, look for one with at least 10 mg of lutein and 2 mg of zeaxanthin. Research has shown significant improvement in macular degeneration and contrast sensitivity loss in people who took lutein and zeaxanthin for 12 weeks. Ophthalmologist Dr. Chris Knobbe stresses the importance of removing seed oils from the diet and moving towards an ancestral diet for improved eyesight and eye health. Fatty fish like salmon contain omega-3s, which support eye health and reduce inflammation. DHA is vital for the brain and retina and is found in fish oil and cod liver oil.Vitamin D is critical for every part of the eye and can help with conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and retinopathy. Take at least 10,000 IU of vitamin D every day. Vitamin A is essential, especially for night vision. Zinc can also help!DATA:⁠https://www.sciencedirect.com/science... ⁠Vitamin D3 Highdosage The Alternative to the Previous Therapy of Glaucoma: ⁠https://www.amazon.com/Vitamin-Highdo...

Dr. Sean Ianchulev, CEO of Iantrek, is developing a new approach to treating glaucoma, which involves a biologic implant that can be customized to the patient's disease progression. This technology is designed to be more durable compared to traditional glaucoma treatments, which often require lifelong use of eye drops. This treatment is a combination of microinterventional technology with biologic tissue technology to transform the approach to eye care. Sean explains, "So we are a first not only for ophthalmology but also for medicine. We are the first, made of biologic technology, and we're to implant that tissue without any hardware, which is important because it minimizes implantable response. We can treat glaucoma patients who need intraocular pressure opening by opening and stenting the outflow pathway in a very unprecedented way. So, we've created a new categorical treatment, which we call bio-interventional."   "I think in cataract, we can say we've probably been able to cure that disease by cataract surgery and have a permanent cure. Unfortunately, glaucoma is difficult, affecting the optic nerve. And when you talk about neurodegenerative diseases, we're not yet there where we can cure them, but if we can slow them down, and we can slow them down to the point where it does not impact somebody's well-being and vision until the end of their lifespan, I think that's almost equivalent to cure because we've been able to enable them to have a productive life." #Iantek #Glaucoma #Innovation #Biointerventional #Microinterventional #Biotissue #EyeCare #Ophthalmology  iantrekmed.com Download the transcript here
