A pioneering treatment is giving new hope to those with macular degeneration. A team at Oxford University have successfully used gene therapy over the long-term to reverse sight loss in a group of patients in the UK and US who otherwise would have gone bl

An international team combining scientists from Moorfields Eye Hospital, Ulster University and University College London has produced an Eye Chart which detects the early onset of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD).

It is widely believed that Wet AMD is triggered by oxygen deprivation, but breaking research suggests that dysfunctional energy metabolism in the eye is the cause.

It is estimated that 15-33% of people over 65 suffer from Dry Eye Disease – a chronic inflammation of the eyes caused by reduced tear production.

One of the lesser-known facts about Macular Degeneration is its relationship to smoking.

Researchers at the University of Melbourne have found that a new, low-impact energy laser treatment used on a group of patients with early age-related macular degeneration (AMD) has produced positive results without adverse side effects.

Macular degeneration patients often have trouble reading, but a new study finds that double line spacing and double word spacing may make reading easier for these patients.

It sounds like science fiction: Tiny telescopes being implanted into the eyes of humans to restore sight in those with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

SEATTLE -- A newly approved device is helping the blind see again by using a telescope that doctors insert into a patient's eye.

A team of researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) has found that loss of an anti-aging gene induces retinal degeneration in mice and might contribute to age-related macular degeneration, the major cause of blindness in the elderly.
