High-tech imaging reveals details about rare eye disorder

Using a new imaging technique, researchers from the National Eye Institute have determined that retinal lesions from vitelliform macular dystrophy (VMD) vary by gene mutation. Addressing these differences may be key in designing ...

Imaging method reveals long-lived patterns in cells of the eye

Cells of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) form unique patterns that can be used to track changes in this important layer of tissue in the back of the eye, researchers at the National Eye Institute (NEI) have found. Using ...

Adaptive optics helps reveal what the eyes tell the brain

When photoreceptors in the retina of the eye detect light, they relay the information toward the brain's primary visual cortex for image processing. Scientists at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia Research Campus ...
