Genetics play a major role in predisposing infants to retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), a disease prevalent in premature infants that disrupts normal blood vessel development of the retina and can lead to blindness.

Testing the eyes of preterm children when they reach 2.5 years of age may predict vision problems at age 10.

Potentially blinding blood vessel growth in the cornea resulting from eye injury or even surgery can be reduced by more than 50 percent with a new manmade protein, researchers say.

First to successfully use MRI in animal models to capture images of eye's elusive retinal layers.

Low intensity laser treatment is ineffective in preventing complications of AMD or vision loss.

A gene called Six3 is one of the earliest critical regulators controlling lens development in the eye of the mammalian embryo.

Hockey goalies with the Quiet Eye have a better chance of making big saves.

The cornea stays clear by expressing a soluble form of a receptor that traps factors enabling growth of vision obstructing blood vessels, researchers say.

Traditional assumptions that contact lenses are safer than laser surgery to correct vision problems may not be true according to a OHSU eye doctor.

90% or more of Lucentis treated wet AMD patients maintained vision, as defined by a loss of less than 15 letters in visual acuity measured on the study eye chart.

Understanding herpes' unusual pathway for infecting the stroma cells opens up new strategies for developing therapies against this potentially blinding disease and has implications for understanding other herpes virus infections.

New formula slashes by nearly 2/3 the likelihood that patients will need repeat visits to an eye surgeon to adjust their vision after their initial LASIK visit.

A dart like molecule that adheres to proteins in the eye is the key that turns on the uncontrolled growth of blood vessels.

The visual aid promises to improve the visual abilities of people with tunnel vision.

Among the estimated 34 million contact lens wearers in the United States, microbial keratitis (corneal infection) is a rare but serious complication that may lead to permanent vision loss or the need for corneal transplantation.
