Researchers partially restored the function of cone receptors in the retinas of children born completely blind by using gene therapy.
Infusing contact lenses with gold nanoparticles allows for better color perception for those who are color blind.
New gene therapy may help those with achromatopsia, or complete color blindness, to improve visual function. The treatment targets the CNGA3 gene, which is implicated in one-third of achromatopsia cases.
Researchers reveal our cultural experiences and language we speak may impact how we perceive colors.
