Summary

This study followed 62 people for five years after they received an experimental gene therapy for a rare genetic eye disease called LHON. The goal was to check the long-term safety of the treatment and see if the vision improvements seen in earlier studies were maintained over time. Researchers tracked participants' vision and quality of life to understand the therapy's lasting effects.
