NEI Research News

A group of pediatric eye disease researchers supported by the National Eye Institute (NEI) has launched an open-access tool designed to help manage pediatric cases of amblyopia.

NEI scientists have found that the way the retina metabolizes glucose directly controls which genes get switched on and off in light-sensing photoreceptors.

National Eye Institute (NEI) researchers have developed a digital replica of crucial eye cells, providing a new tool for studying how the cells organize themselves when they are healthy and affected by diseases.

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.
