Research has shown that the therapeutic effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is partially due to its secreted factors as opposed to the implantation of the cells into the treated tissue or tissue replacement. MSC secretome, especially in the form of conditioned medium (MSC-CM) is now being explored as an alternative to MSCs transplantation. Despite the observed benefits of MSC-CM, only a few clinical trials have evaluated it and other secretome components in the treatment of eye diseases. This review provides insight into the potential therapeutic use of MSC-CM in eye conditions, such as corneal diseases, dry eye, glaucoma, retinal diseases and uveitis. We discuss the current evidence, some limitations, and the progress that remains to be achieved before clinical translation becomes possible.
