Retinal Diseases

Globally, millions of people living with retinal conditions face a progressive decline in their independence and connection to the world due to vision loss.1 Today, treatment often starts when degeneration in eyes has already occurred, resulting in avoidable vision loss for many. At Boehringer Ingelheim, we are working towards a better tomorrow. We are exploring innovative research pathways to help us understand degenerative retinal disease progression and deliver a unique and diverse pipeline of multiple drug candidates and progressive technologies to enable earlier detection and intervention. Our ambition is clear: to transform the retinal health landscape, developing targeted solutions that allow us to preserve the retina, protect people’s way of life and prevent vision loss.
