Came across a 2016 book chapter on retinal neural plasticity, and it discusses specifically RP (Retinitus Pigmentosa) one of many "insults" to the retina that lead to this form of plasticity.
The loss of cones causes a cascade of rewiring resulting in the final stage in a complete change in retinal topology, which loses all typical layers.
It sounds like just having the cone inputs is enough to keep layers organized. The question is whether new inputs would enable functional rewiring...

What an amazing on-line resource!

Ciliated #photoreceptor cells have been well studied re #RetinalDegeneration, but what about #PrimaryCilia in other ocular cell types? Study shows that #PrimaryCilium in RPE is essential for development & function; loss results in degeneration #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3t2PwaG

Y'all, please take your eye health seriously and get checked out ASAP if you notice anything weird vision-wise. Since getting LASIK I had fallen out of getting routine eye exams... lesson learned today when they found multiple holes/tears in my retinas and a detachment in one of them. 👀👀👀
