ES treatment has promising therapeutic effects on RP and optic neuropathy. More large-scale RCT studies should be conducted to elucidate the potential of ES, especially on AMD, RAO, and glaucoma. A comparison of the effects by different ES methods in the same disease populations is still lacking. Parameters of the electric current and sensitive detection method should be optimized for the evaluation of ES treatment effects in future studies.
