Bioprosthetic retinal grafts (or devices) comprising stem cell derived tissues and/or cells may be used to slow the progression of retinal degenerative disease, slow the progression of retinal degenerative disease after traumatic injury, slow the progression of age related macular degeneration (AMD), prevent retinal degenerative disease, prevent retinal degenerative disease after traumatic injury, prevent AMD, restore retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), photoreceptor cells (PRCs) and retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) lost from disease, injury or genetic abnormalities, increasing RPE, PRCs and RCGs, treat RPE, PRCs and RCG defects in a subject, or for other purposes. Bioprosthetic retinal grafts may comprise a bioprosthetic carrier or scaffold suitable for implantation into the ocular space of a subject's eye, to form a bioprosthetic retinal patch. In certain embodiments, the bioprosthetic retinal patch may comprise multiple pieces of stem cell derived tissues or cells on a carrier or scaffold, which may be used to treat large areas of retinal degeneration or damage, or for other purposes.
