Core Tip Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are emerging as potent therapeutic agents for ocular degeneration due to their regenerative and immunomodulatory properties. A key mechanism of their action is through extracellular vesicles, which deliver bioactive cargoes, particularly microRNAs (miRNAs), to target cells. This review highlights the role of MSC-derived miRNAs in modulating immune responses and promoting repair in ocular diseases such as corneal injury, dry eye, diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, and glaucoma. It also explores the potential of engineering extracellular vesicles enriched with specific MSC-derived miRNAs as innovative, cell-free therapeutic strategies.
