Rebooting the Eye To test this theory, the team injected an anesthetic called tetrodotoxin into the lazy eye of lab animals ...

When one eye is deprived of vision early in life, it can lead to amblyopia, a condition more commonly known as lazy eye. This happens because a lack of input disrupts synapse formation in the brain's ...

Vision loss has long been treated as a one-way street, a devastating endpoint rather than a problem the brain might quietly ...

Gold, laser goggles, and a camera: it’s an unlikely combination that could one day be used to restore vision in people with retinal damage, according to researchers. In a new study published in the ...

A group of scientists restored vision in a monkey by using human stem cells to fix a hole in its retina. The research could open new doors for vision treatment in humans and other animals, too. A new ...

In a study published in the journal ACS Nano and supported by the National Institutes of Health, the research team showed that nanoparticles injected into the retina can successfully stimulate the ...

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an untreatable vision loss problem impacting those over 50. The disease starts as a thinning of the macula (the part of the retina responsible for detailed ...

Imagine slowly losing the center of your vision, like a camera lens fading to fog. That's what happens with geographic atrophy, a severe form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It's the ...

A groundbreaking study published in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) on Monday demonstrates how specialized devices using artificial intelligence can help restore central vision to treat ...

The Ocular Neurobiology laboratory at the Institute for Neurosciences, a joint center of Miguel Hernández University (UMH) in Elche and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), is participating ...
