Many conditions that cause vision loss share a common feature: the gradual breakdown of the retina, the light-sensing tissue ...

A Yale-led study uncovered unexpected communication between retinal visual pathways that were thought to operate separately.

There’s an old saying, attributed to writers from Cicero to Shakespeare, that says the eyes are the windows to the soul. But it may be more accurate to say that your eyes, and in particular your ...

A new study in mice suggests experimental eye drops may be more effective than injections for treatment of retinal vein occlusion, a major cause of blindness. A new study suggests that eye drops ...

Modern OCT devices can look inside the eye without a scalpel - but they do not always capture everything that matters. Some ...

Cedars-Sinai investigators working to optimize a cell-based treatment for retinitis pigmentosa have uncovered how transplanted neural stem cells interact with host retinal cells to preserve vision.

The retina, an anatomical extension of the brain, forms physiological connections with the visual cortex of the brain. Although retinal structures offer a unique opportunity to assess brain disorders, ...

A gene therapy that targets a form of retinitis pigmentosa showed a signal to improve retinal function for up to 3 years after treatment, according to a small clinical trial. The phase 2 SKYLINE trial ...

The retina is invariably considered an extension of the central nervous system and can predict cognitive impairment in neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. This is due to the ...

The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS, President Lee Ho Seong) has developed a retina-mimicking eye phantom* that faithfully replicates the structural layers and microvascular ...
