Multi-characteristic opsin (MCO)-based optogenetic therapy allows the recruitment of residual cells of the retina in LCA for alternative vision transduction while being mutation-agnostic. Using <i>rd12</i> mice, we investigated the <i>in vivo</i> efficacy of an adeno-associated virus2 (AAV2)-transduced ambient light-activatable MCO (MCO-010) containing a metabotropic glutamate receptor-6 bipolar cell-specific promoter/enhancer. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Mice requiring > 40 s to reach and board a dimly lit hidden platform in a water-maze were selected and randomly divided into 2 cohorts. These mice were intravitreally (IVT) injected with either 1.7E9 gene copies/eye of MCO-010 or control AAV2 and re-tested in the water-maze. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), hematoxylin and eosin staining of retinas, and electroretinographic (ERG) studies were also conducted. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Safety of MCO-010 in <i>rd12</i> mice was confirmed by the lack of significant detrimental changes in the mouse behavior, b-wave amplitudes and in retinal thickness. <i>rd12</i> control mice performed relatively poorly in the water-maze test requiring ≥ 30-60 s to find and board the platform.
