SDDs can serve as sensitive biomarkers to detect undiagnosed carotid artery and cardiac disease

Scientists have found a way to use nanotechnology to create a 3D "scaffold" to grow cells from the retina—paving the way for potential new ways of treating a common cause of blindness.

Experts review approaches to retinitis pigmentosa, Stargardt disease, and choroideremia

A New York appeals court has upheld a $1.2 million verdict against an eye surgeon after his patient went blind after cataract removal and lens replacement surgery.

Reducing the severity of nearsightedness can benefit public health

Worldwide, as many as 285 million people suffer from serious eye diseases or blindness. Unfortunately, most of them do not have access to modern methods of treatment, so help often comes too late. This situation could change with the advent of a very significant improvement to a diagnostic tool that has been utilized for three decades for detecting ocular pathology—Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT).

Excess risk may be related to fluctuations in oxygenation that damage the retina

Researchers from Trier Research Laboratories, Jinan University and Cardiff University have assessed the rate of myopia progression in children taking 7-methylxanthine.

A subretinal implant partially restored central vision in some patients with atrophic macular degeneration.

A novel drug, the first in its class, is also the first treatment approved for use in uveal melanoma, a rare cancer of the eye, after it was shown to improve overall survival.

But docs aren't ready to ditch the treatment, which is commonly used in Asia

Invasion of multiple cell types, including retinal nuclear cells, but with minimal inflammation

Advancing novel immunotherapy strategies requires refined tools in preclinical research to thoroughly assess drug targets, biodistribution, safety, and efficacy. Light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) offers unprecedented fast volumetric ex vivo imaging of large tissue samples in high resolution. Yet, to date laborious and unstandardized tissue processing procedures have limited throughput and broader…

The dark-mode vs light-mode discussion popped up on Hacker News again so I wanted to summarise all I cound find about it.

Taking a conservative tack is rewarded years later with confirmation of diagnosis

Filgotinib reduced the risk for treatment failure in patients with active noninfectious uveitis, data from a phase 2 trial showed.

Doctors say it's very unusual to develop a visual impairment as the first symptom of lung cancer.

Pain and vision loss are late symptoms of periocular melanoma, and there are amelanotic variants.

An early gene therapy trial reported maintenance of vision, reduced retinal inflammation, and detectable therapeutic protein levels 9 months after treatment for age-related macular degeneration.

Scientists used patient stem cells and 3D bioprinting to produce eye tissue that will advance understanding of the mechanisms of blinding diseases.
