A new study suggests that never-seen-before stem cells in the human retina can restore vision in mice with a common eye ...

Thickening of the macular layer of the eye's retina is associated with a greater risk of postoperative delirium for older patients undergoing surgery under general anaesthetic, reveals a study ...

A new study suggests that never-seen-before stem cells in the human retina can restore vision in mice with a common eye disorder. But more work is needed to translate the treatment to people.

Treatment shows potential to slow the progression of human degenerative eye diseases, including retinitis pigmentosa.

Inside the human eye, the retina is made up of several types of cells, including the light-sensing photoreceptors that initiate the cascade of events that lead to vision. Damage to the photoreceptors, ...

A team of scientists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has developed an eye drop that successfully slowed vision ...

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a rare inherited condition that causes the gradual death of photoreceptors (light-sensing cells) ...

SALT LAKE CITY — When performing surgery on the retina — one of the smallest, most delicate parts of the human body — the margin of error is virtually ...
