Researchers report children with poor vision experience an improvement in their peripheral vision within hours of being exposed to child friendly action video games.
Researchers find simulated blindness in adult mice sharpens the animal's hearing.
Age-related changes in the retina may be driven by the loss of the pigment epithelium-derived factor protein. The findings could pave the way for the development of treatment for age-related macular degeneration and other age-related vision loss disorders.
The way in which a patient is informed they have a specific eye disease can impact their psychological health and ability to deal with their condition in the long term.
Surgeons have successfully performed the world's first operation inside the eye using a robot.
Antabuse, a drug commonly prescribed to treat alcohol use disorder, may help to restore eyesight in people with genetic retinitis pigmentosa and other disorders associated with retinal degeneration.
The discovery of new genetic signatures associated with age-related macular degeneration may lead to better diagnosis and treatment of the currently incurable vision disorder.
ST266 produces an anti-inflammatory effect and can help preserve cells in the optic nerve, a new study reports.
Administering a chemical compound called synthetic retinoids to the retina helped restore brain networks associated with vision and prompted the growth of two times more neurons, effectively restoring vision in adult mouse models of the genetic visual disorder LCA.
Researchers use simulations to mimic what vision could be like after a patient undergoes one of two different vision restoring therapies.
New research concludes the eye, which depends on light to see, also needs light to develop normally during pregnancy.
The ability of retinal cells to "wall off" damage may be key to preserving vision.
