NIH Websites Are Changing

Beginning in late July, NIH will start introducing a new website experience designed to make it easier to find health information, research, funding opportunities, and other resources. During the transition, you may notice changes to navigation, page layouts, and where some information is located. Learn more in our Frequently Asked Questions.

The National Eye Institute's Office of Science Communications, Public Liaison and Education can help answer questions, whether you are a patient, family member or friend, health care professional, researcher, or student. We provide evidence-based information to help you better understand the diseases and conditions you or your loved ones may face. However, our service is not a substitute for seeking the advice of a health care professional.

We cannot provide personalized medical advice to individuals about their condition or treatment.
