Optometric care has advanced significantly with OCT and high-resolution retinal imaging, yet clinicians still encounter a ...

Cedars-Sinai investigators working to optimize a cell-based treatment for retinitis pigmentosa have uncovered how transplanted neural stem cells interact with host retinal cells to preserve vision.

There’s an old saying, attributed to writers from Cicero to Shakespeare, that says the eyes are the windows to the soul. But it may be more accurate to say that your eyes, and in particular your ...

A study on ground squirrels shows, not only do mitochondria produce bioenergy in the cone-shaped photoreceptors in the retina of the eye, they also act as micro-lenses that redirect light to the ...

Neural tissue normally dies quickly without oxygen. Yet bird retinas—among the most energy-demanding tissues in the animal kingdom—function permanently without it. This may be relevant in future ...

The bird retina is one of the most energetically expensive tissues in the animal kingdom, yet it doesn’t use the energy ...
