The ways in which lost vision might be restored are coming into focus as researchers move closer to recreating the eye’s most complex structure — the retina — in the laboratory. The retina comprises a ...

Your eyes are relatively small parts of your body, but they’re immensely complex. Your eyes are full of dozens of different parts, all of which work together to produce your vision. One of the most ...

MADISON -- For the first time, scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have made early retina structures containing proliferating neuroretinal progenitor cells using induced pluripotent stem ...

The human eye is an exquisitely complicated organ. It acts like a camera to collect and focus light and convert it into an electrical signal that the brain translates into images. But instead of ...

Another milestone in eye imaging has been achieved. Polish scientists have developed a technique that enables visualization of the retina and choroid at discrete depths. Modern imaging of eye tissues ...

Among the primary causes of adult-onset blindness are degenerative diseases of the retina, such as macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa. While some treatments have been developed that slow ...

Q: When first learning about genetics, we’re taught that blue eyes are recessive and brown is dominant, but what about green eyes? Also, what are the squiggly lines in light-colored eyes? — Tim Patten ...

BECAUSE it is locked away inside the skull, the brain is hard to study. Looking at it requires finicky machines which use magnetism or electricity or both to bypass the bone. There is just one tendril ...

Seeing flashing lights in the corner of one or both eyes can occur with migraine or result from trauma, detached retina, or other problems. The flashes of light may vary in shape, color, frequency, ...

An unusual eye structure helps the strange-looking elephantnose fish see in their dim and murky habitat, a new study suggests. These fish live in muddy rivers in central and west Africa, which are ...
