Summary
This study tests whether disulfiram, a drug already approved for alcohol abuse, can improve vision in people with inherited retinal degeneration. The drug aims to block a harmful chemical signal in the eye that may worsen vision loss. About 30 adults with mild to moderate vision loss will receive both disulfiram and a placebo in random order to compare effects on contrast sensitivity and visual acuity.
