          Eye Surgery Technique Could Restore Vision in Macular Degeneration

          Scientists have developed a novel surgical method allowing two retinal tissue grafts to be implanted in a single eye, advancing treatment strategies for dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This new approach enables side-by-side testing of grafts—one with retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells and one without—within the same lesion, using a specially designed clamp to maintain eye pressure and reduce damage.

          Rewiring Retinal Messages to Slow Vision Loss in AMD

          Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of adult blindness, affects nearly half of Oklahomans over age 80. New research is uncovering how retinal cells communicate using microRNA and extracellular vesicles (EVs), with the goal of slowing AMD progression.

          Gold Nanoparticles Restore Vision in Macular Degeneration

          A new study shows that gold nanoparticles injected into the retina can restore vision in mice with retinal degeneration, offering a less invasive alternative to current retinal prostheses. When activated by patterned infrared light, these nanoparticles stimulate retinal cells, bypassing damaged photoreceptors.

          A new study has linked moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), characterized by low oxygen levels overnight, with an increased risk of developing wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The research suggests nocturnal hypoxia could affect the oxygen-sensitive retina, contributing to AMD progression.

          Targeting Protein Reduces Macular Degeneration Symptoms

          New research identifies a protein, TIMP3, overproduced in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) that may drive the disease’s progression. By targeting the enzyme linked to inflammation and drusen formation, scientists reduced early signs of AMD in stem cell models, offering hope for new treatments.

          Detecting Early Vision Loss in Macular Degeneration

          A new study reveals that early changes in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) can lead to measurable local vision loss. Researchers used advanced imaging to find that iRORA lesions, early signs of retinal damage, significantly reduce visual acuity. This discovery could enhance monitoring and treatment of AMD, potentially preventing severe vision loss. The findings offer hope for earlier intervention in this progressive eye disease.
