NIH-funded researchers created a computational model that simulates the experience of a high-resolution implant. Their models suggests implants are unlikely to exceed normal human vision.

Researchers have discovered a connection between levels of specific proteins in patients’ tears and persistent pain months after surgery such as LASIK.

A new study in mice hints at the promise of an eventual alternative treatment option for the “wet” version of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Faces of familiar individuals with whom one has frequent social interactions with are learned in the basal ganglia region (specifically the tail part of the striatum) through the same neural mechanisms that recognize the value of objects.

Researchers at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences and Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) Cancer Center are studying a new, revolutionary treatment for diabetic retinopathy that could change the prognosis for these patients.

Three Kavli laureates, with their work on neocortical specialization for face recognition, have provided basic principles of neural organization, which will further our understanding of recognition of objects and scenes.

At a fraction of the cost, biosimilars are now proven to be as effective as original anti-VEGF medications.

A new study from MIT offers a possible explanation for how the brain comes to be adept at identifying both color and color-degraded images, even though the human visual system has sophisticated machinery for processing color.

Researchers at UC San Francisco have found a new type of neuron that guides the formation of a lattice of blood vessels nourishes cells in the retina.

Findings from mouse study indicate how one mutation of rhodopsin may cause congenital stationary night blindness in humans.
