Drug development for neurodegenerative diseases is struggling with one of its most intractable barriers: the slow, variable, and subjective nature of clinical endpoints Traditional assessment scales, ...

Researchers have developed a novel synthetic protein to treat macular degeneration and other incurable eye diseases that lead to blindness in millions of people. It is the first drug of its kind and ...

Common eye diseases include age-related macular degeneration, amblyopia, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, dry eye, and glaucoma. Over time, tissue damage in different parts of the eye can lead to ...

Using piezoelectricity, an engineering team developed wearable sensors to examine eye movement to assess brain disorders or damage to the brain. A University of Houston engineering team has developed ...

Research teams led by a faculty member in Purdue University’s College of Engineering will use two grants from the National Eye Institute totaling $6.7 million to further develop specialized smart soft ...

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 ...

Eye problems such as strain, dryness, nearsightedness and other visual disturbances are no longer limited to those in middle age or the elderly. In recent years, healthcare professionals have observed ...

Diet, exercise, and daily habits significantly impact eye health because they directly affect blood flow to the eyes and support the body’s natural repair mechanisms. Medical professionals recommend ...

A new study from UCLA Health shows that a cardiovascular risk score already used routinely in primary care can predict who will develop serious eye diseases years later. Researchers found that people ...
