His work contributed to the development of the drug Xalatan, a treatment for glaucoma.

Mice have neurons that connect to both eyes but only propagate the signal from one or the other, simplifying the information sent to the cerebral cortex.

A new study suggests that DNA synthesized in the cell cytoplasm drives retinal cell death in an advanced form of age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness.

Spontaneous waves of nerve impulses flowing across the retina help mouse pups practice motion detection for when they eventually open their eyes.

Doctors are reporting an uptick in cases of a highly lethal condition called mucormycosis that might be linked to steroid treatments for SARS-CoV-2.

Researchers insert functioning cone photoreceptors into the retinas of mice with advanced eye disease, improving their vision.

Researchers find different distributions of the immune cells in young, older, and diseased eyes.

Imaged in real time in living people, immune cells at the surface of the retina could serve as biomarkers to detect retinal and possibly neurological diseases and track their progression.

It’s not clear why the patients with Leber hereditary optic neuropathy, a mitochondrial disorder that causes blindness, also experienced the modest benefits in their untreated eye.

Researchers repaired what is otherwise irreversible damage in the animals’ ocular neurons, by activating transcription factors ordinarily used to generate induced pluripotent stem cells.

A small study shows artificial intelligence can pick out individuals with coronavirus infections, but ophthalmologists and AI experts say the approach is far from proven to be capable of distinguishing infections with SARS-CoV-2 from other ills.

Two rodent models of glaucoma have defects in the waste drainage system.

Scientists have developed a tissue-clearing protocol that allows them to peer into entire, transparent human organs.

The click beetle’s intricate false eyes cast a deep black color with the help of pigment-coated hairs.

New methods of visualizing tissue are presented at the Society for Neuroscience meeting.

The patient’s vision has improved since the procedure, and her cornea remains clear.

Both modern and ancient crane fly eyes contain eumelanin, a light-screening pigment.

A trial is recruiting patients to test the gene-editing technology’s ability to treat an inherited form of blindness caused by a mutation in the CEP290 gene.

The UCLA ophthalmologist worked to combat blindness in underserved communities.
