Getting the most advanced ophthalmic imaging technologies into the hands of healthcare providers will vastly improve the ability to detect retinal diseases earlier, and guide treatments to prevent vision loss.

NEI scientists constructed a 3D map of the neural circuitry of S-cone photoreceptors, important for perceiving blue light

Ten teams are being recognized for their proof-of-concept ideas following Phase 1 of the Data Sharing Index (“S-Index”) Challenge, an NIH competition aimed at incentivizing data sharing

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have identified which brain circuits are vital for visual acuity and how they are affected by damaged retinal cells.

Four high school students have been selected as the grand prize winners of the fourth annual National Eye Institute (NEI) Eye on the Future teen video contest.

National Institutes of Health (NIH) scientists have developed a new surgical technique for implanting multiple tissue grafts in the eye's retina. The findings in animals may help advance treatment options for dry age-related macular degeneration.

Four teams have won a prize competition aimed at integrating eye care and ocular imaging data into studies using large healthcare datasets in biomedical research.

Scientists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have leveraged artificial intelligence to transform a device designed to see tissues in the back of the eye into one sharp enough to make out individual cells.

New studies in rats suggest the drug reserpine, approved in 1955 for high blood pressure, might treat the blinding disease retinitis pigmentosa. No therapy exists for this rare inherited disease, which starts affecting vision from childhood.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have developed eye drops that extend vision in animal models of a group of inherited diseases that lead to progressive vision loss in humans, known as retinitis pigmentosa.
