Cell replacement therapy offers new hope for millions of people affected by retinal degenerations (RDs)—a group of blinding ...

Delaying cataract surgery 6 months or more after laser for retina tears reduces the risk for retinal detachment by half, a new study shows.

To confirm glutamine's role in vision, the researchers used mice that lacked the enzyme glutaminase, which breaks down ...

Researchers reveal that microglia, the brain's immune cells, play a key role in protecting retinal health and managing eye ...

Astigmatism (uh-STIG-muh-tiz-um) is a type of refractive error where one or more of the eye’s surfaces are not smooth and/or ...

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.

Tractional retinal detachment occurs if scar tissue in the eye causes the retina to move out of position. It requires immediate medical attention. The retina is a light-sensitive layer of cells at ...

In a paper published in eLife, University of Michigan researchers studied the dependence of photoreceptors on glutamine.
