A recent study suggests that older Americans (65 years and older) residing in warmer regions have a higher risk of serious vision impairment compared to…
A study from the National Eye Institute identified rare genetic variants that may reveal mechanisms behind age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a prevalent cause of vision…
Researchers at Cedars-Sinai have conducted the most comprehensive analysis of retinal changes in Alzheimer’s disease patients and their correlation with brain and cognitive changes. Published…
Harmful blood vessel growth in the eye, also known as neovascularization, is a condition in which abnormal blood vessels form in the retina or the…
Scientists have a contact lens prototype that is specially designed to prevent contact lens-induced dry eye. Credit: Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation A team from…
Macular degeneration is a progressive eye disease that affects the central part of the retina, called the macula. It leads to a loss of central…
The study’s findings indicate that the eyes not only serve as a metaphor for the soul but can also objectively provide insight into one’s current…
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can cause damage to the optic nerve and result in vision loss. It is often caused by…
Researchers find that genetics combined with long years of schooling can lead to nearsightedness in children. Increased schooling is linked to a higher risk of…
Eye contact is an important aspect of social communication, but it can be difficult for individuals with autism to initiate and maintain. Many people with…
Studying mice, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found that proteins made by stem cells to help regenerate the cornea…
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that can damage the optic nerve, which carries visual information from the eye to the brain. It is…
If you use a computer for hours a day, there’s a good chance you know what it’s like to have eyestrain or dry eyes. Maybe…
The patients had some, although severely diminished, visual function during the day, however, at night they were essentially blind, with light sensitivity 10,000–100,000 times less…
