In the quest to unearth alternative treatment strategies that don't rely on VEGF inhibition, researchers made some surprising discoveries...

iPSCs are routinely derived from fibroblasts and blood cells, but does the age of the donor matter?

Retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP) is driven by oxygen deprivation, right? The road to retinal VEGF expression might be driven, in part, by energy deficiency

Smart stem cell culture methods appear to enable functional, cornea-like corneal epithelial cell sheets

In routine cataract surgery today, lens epithelial cells aren’t the enemy, technique might be. The answer: lens regeneration

From cornea to retina, NGF’s regenerative and neuroprotective potential seems immense. What does the future hold for this versatile little neurotrophin?

Racial background modifies risk; diabetes protects, but asthma and sleep apnea predisposes

Could transcranial direct current stimulation treat amblyopia in adults?

Benefits achieved in the first year maintained; VA performance gap in patients with low baseline vision narrows

The number of people donating their eye tissue for research purposes keeps on falling – why?
