Restoring mitochondrial homeostasis in diseased neurons can protect the optic nerve from being damaged and potentially reverse symptoms of glaucoma.
Researchers identified a small molecule capable of stimulating nerve regeneration and restoring vision following injury to the optic nerve.
Newly developed smart contact lenses can help detect glaucoma at its earliest stages, researchers report.
Researchers induced non-neural cells that mimic ganglion cells in the eyes of mice, effectively reducing the impact of certain eye diseases. They hope to next replicate their technique in humans in order to help restore vision lost due to eye diseases.
Stress such as intraocular pressure elevation in the eye causes the retinal tissue to undergo transcriptional and epigenetic changes similar to natural aging.
People with normal-tension glaucoma are at increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, researchers say.
Researchers say Black patients are at greater risk of advanced vision loss than white patients following a diagnosis of primary open angle glaucoma.
For those with a genetic predisposition to higher eye pressure, high caffeine consumption may increase the risk of developing glaucoma threefold.
A newly developed system that uses OCT imaging and deep learning should enable better detection and monitoring of glaucoma.
A new artificial intelligence algorithm can detect the progression of glaucoma up to 18 months earlier than conventional methods.
A new study reveals a considerable link between three common eye diseases and an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Researchers believe their findings could help physicians better detect those at risk of developing dementia.
Researchers have identified 133 genetic variants associated with an increased risk of developing glaucoma.
