A detailed ophthalmic examination including ishihara color vision test, electroretinography (ERG), multifocal ERG (mf-ERG), optical coherence tomography and the quality of life (QoL) of low-vision patients questionnaire was performed before and after the TES therapy. After the TES therapy, favorable outcomes were obtained from the patients. Increase in visual acuity and color vision levels, improvement in photopic ERG and mf-ERG responses were noted. Furthermore, the QoL questionnaire scores increased remarkable in all patients. Objective and subjective promising results obtained with TES in these patients suggest that TES therapy may be a new treatment method in retinal dystrophy cases.
