A bioengineered retinal implant is safe for use in humans and may be effective in treating vision loss caused by a type of macular degeneration that causes progressive blindness.

This is the first study to describe distinct, previously unrecognized, patterns of peripheral fundus autofluorescence abnormalities in patients with age-related macular degeneration.

According to the Bright Focus Foundation, nearly 20 million US adults have some form of age-related macular degeneration. An estimated 18 million people aged 40 and older were living with early ...

Single-cell–resolution map of human retinal pigment epithelium helps discover subpopulations with differential disease sensitivity. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , 2022; 119 ...

This includes late-onset retinal degeneration, which affects peripheral vision; and age-related macular degeneration (AMD), where there is damage to the part of the retina responsible for our central ...

Almost half the time atrophic retinal holes are associated with some amount of lattice degeneration, a condition where a part of the retina (usually a peripheral part) becomes thin.

For example, late-onset retinal degeneration (L-ORD) affects mostly peripheral retina and, therefore, peripheral vision. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), ...

Age and disease can cause metabolic changes in RPE cells that can lead to photoreceptor degeneration. The impact on vision from these RPE changes varies dramatically by severity and where the RPE ...
