Myopic macular degeneration (MMD), or pathological myopia, occurs when high myopia (severe nearsightedness) stretches the retina, causing symptoms like blurry vision and blind spots. MMD affects ...

With wet AMD, abnormal blood vessels grow under the macula. The wet form of age-related macular degeneration can start suddenly. You won’t feel pain, but you might notice vision problems.

For individuals with inherited eye disorders such as retinitis pigmentosa or macular degeneration, the irreversible degeneration of the retina—a layer of photoreceptors at the back of the eye—can ...

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of adult blindness, affects nearly half of Oklahomans over age 80.

A new study shows that gold nanoparticles injected into the retina can restore vision in mice with retinal degeneration, offering a less invasive alternative to current retinal prostheses.

Scientists have identified never-before-seen cells in the human eye that could potentially help reverse vision loss caused by common diseases, such as macular degeneration. The researchers ...

Age-related macular degeneration begins with weakening of retinal pigment epithelium cells (RPEs), a layer of cells that support the retina's photoreceptors. When degeneration occurs, the affected ...

Based on the scientific progress achieved in the past few years, it is possible that patients with myopic macular degeneration complicated by CNV may benefit from a new ophthalmic frontier of ...

These data inform Character’s approach to targets for the dry form of age-related macular degeneration and they also indicate which patients are most likely to respond to treatment. Now the ...
