Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: Patients who meet all of the following criteria can be selected as subjects: 1. Clinically diagnosed with retinal pigment degeneration 2. The visual acuity of study eye is no better than the finger counting, while the visual acuity of the study eye is not better than that of the contralateral eye 3. The subject has had visual experience above the finger counting 4. In the OCT examination of the tested eye, the disappearance of the ellipsoid zone is observed, but the inner nuclear layer and the nerve fiber layer of the retina are still present 5. The refractive power of the tested eye is between -6.00 D and +6.00 D 6. Not infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and other acute and chronic infectious diseases 7. Voluntarily sign an Informed Consent Form (ICF), and the age is not less than 18 years and not more than 65 years 8.

Subjects with other symptoms and/or diseases or conditions that can alter visual function, including but not limited to glaucoma and central nervous system lesions (mild cataracts are not included in this restriction) 6. Eye diseases that may interfere with the assessment of vision during the study and/or interfere with other ocular assessments such as OCT 7. Diseases that may affect the clinical trial, such as tumors, metabolic, immune-related diseases, etc. 8. Subjects who have undergone major eye surgery within the last 3 months before screening 9. Subjects with a history of malignant tumors within the last 5 years 10. Subjects with other retinal diseases not suitable for this study, such as retinal detachment 11.
