A long-term diet low in carbohydrates and rich in plant-based fats and proteins may lower the risk of glaucoma, researchers say. Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness due to damage to the optic ...
When your optic nerve doesn’t develop all the way, you may not be able to see through that area of your eye. This congenital condition is most often experienced by people who have mothers with ...
A deep-learning model trained on optical coherence tomography scans of the optic nerve head reliably distinguished among various types of optic nerve damage, such as glaucoma, non-arteritic anterior ...
Using an inkjet printer, researchers have succeeded in printing adult eye cells for the first time. The demonstration is a step toward producing tissue implants that could cure some types of blindness ...
Researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) have shown for the first time that when one optic nerve in the eye is damaged, as in glaucoma, the opposite optic nerve comes to the rescue ...
Pituitary tumors can compress the optic nerve, leading to visual symptoms. Pituitary tumors are mostly benign (noncancerous), but due to their location, they can have significant effects on ...
Leber hereditary optic neuropathy, also known as LHON or Leber optic neuropathy, is an inherited genetic condition. It often causes loss of central vision, starting in one eye and eventually affecting ...
Researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) have shown for the first time that when one optic nerve in the eye is damaged, as in glaucoma, the opposite optic nerve comes to the rescue ...
