Neuroscientists studying the eye’s blind spot have found that brain cells in the primary visual cortex, or V1, fire even when ...

Density loss in the optic nerve head capillary could lead to a faster rate of visual field progression as well as an increased risk of developing event progression. Glaucoma is best managed through ...

About The Study: In this study of patients with type 2 diabetes who had no prior eye disorders, patients prescribed semaglutide or tirzepatide had an increased risk of nonarteritic anterior ischemic ...

Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) on semaglutide or tirzepatide showed a higher incidence of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy and other optic nerve disorders compared to other ...

A form of gene therapy administered to mice has been shown to protect optic nerve cells and help prevent vision loss or blindness from optic nerve damage and other serious retinal injury, and from ...

Traumatic injury to the brain, spinal cord and optic nerve in the central nervous system (CNS) are the leading cause of disability and the second leading cause of death worldwide. CNS injuries often ...

A form of gene therapy protects optic nerve cells and preserves vision in mouse models of glaucoma, according to research supported by NIH's National Eye Institute. The findings suggest a way forward ...

Prolonged near work in low luminance may accelerate myopia primarily by limiting retinal illumination through sustained accommodative miosis rather than by electronic screens per se.

Scientists created a model of the human pain pathway in a dish by connecting four separate brain organoids. The feat should help them understand sensory disorders like those affecting pain perception.
