Abstract in brief

  • The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) plays a crucial role in maintaining visual function by interacting closely with photoreceptors and supporting their health.
  • Understanding the various functions of the RPE has helped clarify how their failure can cause blindness and how genetic mutations in either RPE or photoreceptor genes lead to degenerative eye diseases.
  • Both the RPE and photoreceptors form a functional unit where the health of one depends on the other, and disruptions in either can result in visual loss.
