PURPOSE: To determine whether inhibition of cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) ion channels by retinoids might be useful in treating degenerative retinal diseases in which either the CNG channels are hypersensitive to 3',5'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) or the photoreceptor cGMP concentration...
