Methods and compositions for stabilizing opsin protein, such as a Pro23His mutant opsin protein, in a vertebrate visual system, by administration of opsin-binding synthetic retinoids, are provided. The mutant opsin protein binds to the synthetic retinoid, which stabilizes the mutant opsin protein and/or ameliorates the effects of the mutant opsin protein on the vertebrate visual system.
