Discovery of molecular signatures of age-related macular degeneration will help with better diagnosis and treatment of this progressive eye disease. Thanks to the discovery of…
According to recent research, dementia risk in older persons may be increased by vision issues. According to a recent systematic review and meta-analysis of 16…
Statins, a drug used to lower LDL (“bad cholesterol”) are taken by more than 40 million Americans. In fact, they are the most common drug…
Visual Cortex Size, Brain Tissue Can Predict How Well We See In many ways, the eye functions as a camera, with the retina acting as…
After 10 years, AREDS2 formula shows increased efficacy compared to the original formula, benefit of eliminating beta-carotene. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an eye disease…
Poor vision is often mistaken for cognitive impairments. According to a recent study from the University of South Australia (UniSA), millions of elderly adults with…
“Expanding hole” illusion deceives our pupils to expand in anticipation of expected decrease in light. An optical illusion, that is new to science, appears as…
Smart LED contact lenses developed for treating diabetic retinopathy. Diabetes is a long-term chronic disease with many complications and requires lifelong care. The longer a…
Vision Scientists Revive Light-Sensing Cells in Organ Donor Eyes As part of a series of discoveries that stand to transform brain and vision research, scientists…
Sleep deprivation, which means getting too little high-quality sleep, is a serious health problem. More than one-third of Americans report sleeping less than the suggested…
Cats and many other animals, including most dogs, can reflect light from their eyes. As a result, cats’ eyes usually shine brilliantly in photos taken…
Research findings offer new insights into how our movements are coordinated. Keeping our eyes focused on what we reach for, whether it’s a supermarket item…
Using nanotechnology, scientists have created a newly designed neuromorphic electronic device that endows microrobotics with colorful vision. Researchers at Georgia State University have successfully designed…
Test of drug could prove role of hyperactive retinal cells in blindness, potentially leading to better therapies. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have…
New research could form the basis for developing life-changing therapies that limit the impact of diabetic eye disease – a condition that could potentially affect…
NIH study in ground squirrels suggests dual function for mitochondria in photoreceptor cells. Researchers at the National Eye Institute (NEI) have discovered that power-producing organelles…
Researchers find similarities between how some computer-vision systems process images and how humans see out of the corners of our eyes. Perhaps computer vision and…
While there is currently no cure for blindness, a first-of-its-kind artificial vision system has undergone its first successful implantation, bringing with it the potential to…
