Blinding diseases caused by the degeneration of photoreceptors, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and retinitis ...

Results point to potential to restore vision with drugs, non-invasively, reversibly, via a mechanism that is independent to ...

Researchers have developed a soft artificial retina that helped blind mice respond to near-infrared light, a type of light normally invisible to mammals. The device sits on the surface of the ...

Scientists in China have used Crispr gene editing to restore vision in blind mice, according to research published Friday in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, another advance that signals ...

The retina is often referred to as an "outpost of the brain"—after all, important steps in visual signal processing do not take place in the cerebrum, but in the nerve cells in the eye. When light ...

A new prosthesis for the retina weaved with nanowires partially restored vision in blind mice and allowed detection of near-infrared light in macaques, according to a new study. The new technology's ...
