A new genetic therapy not only helped blind mice regain enough light sensitivity to distinguish flashing from non-flashing lights, but also restored light response to the retinas of dogs, se... Read more
TAU researchers develop groundbreaking wireless material capable of sparking neuronal activity in response to light The aging process affects everything from cardiovascular function to memor... Read more
The loss of eyesight, often caused by retinal degeneration, is a life-altering health issue for many people, especially as they age. But a new development toward a prosthetic retina could he... Read more
Using a type of human stem cell, Johns Hopkins researchers say they have created a three-dimensional complement of human retinal tissue in the laboratory, which notably includes functioning... Read more
Indiana University researchers have detected new early-warning signs of the potential loss of sight associated with diabetes. This discovery could have far-reaching implications for the diag... Read more
IT SOUNDS like science fiction, and for years it seemed as though it was just that: fiction. But the idea of gene therapy—introducing copies of healthy genes into people who lack them, to tr... Read more
A group of researchers from the UK have used inkjet printing technology to successfully print cells taken from the eye for the very first time. The breakthrough, which has been detailed in a... Read more
A new optical device puts the power to detect eye disease in the palm of a hand. The tool—about the size of a hand-held video camera—scans a patient’s entire retina in seconds and could aid... Read more
An automated assessment of multiple datasets using artificial intelligence accurately diagnoses a common cause of blindness Pathological myopia is a condition characterized by severe, progre... Read more
Photographing the retina may help detect which high blood pressure patients are more likely to have a stroke. In a study reported in the American Heart Association journal Hypertension, rese... Read more
Researchers led by biomedical engineering Professor Shy Shoham of the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology are testing the power of holography to artificially stimulate cells in the eye,... Read more
The system is designed to treat near blindness caused by retinitis pigmentosa While the word prosthesis usually evokes images of artificial legs, arms, and these days even sophisticated thou... Read more
This protein may provide a new therapeutic target for both an inherited retinal degenerative disease and age-related macular degeneration Research led by Minghao Jin, PhD, Assistant Professo... Read more
