Core Tip	Several retinal diseases are based on different retinal cell layer degenerations. Some of them have no treatment to date. Advances in stem cell therapy are considered a realistic option. In contrast to the early stage, the late stage of these diseases requires treatment techniques based on cell replacement. Currently, a few are in clinical trials using the sources of embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells and adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells. The focus is mainly to enhance the output of these techniques, securing faster implementation and patient safety. Nevertheless, there are many challenges still to resolve.
