Mammals aren’t known for the ocular regenerative powers, but a new study shows that nature has a few tricks up its sleeve.

For decades, restoring sight after severe eye damage sat firmly in the realm of science fiction. Now a wave of converging ...

Elon Musk recently pronounced that the next Neuralink project will be a “Blindsight” cortical implant to restore vision: “Resolution will be low at first, like early Nintendo graphics, but ultimately ...

For decades, treatments for macular degeneration have focused on slowing, not restoring vision loss. A new retinal implant is flipping that script, turning patients with geographic atrophy into ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development ...

Side-by-side images show a 45,000-pixel rendering of a cat image at left, and a simulation representing an image rendered by 45,000 electrodes in a brain implant at right. (Credit: Ione Fine / ...

Elon Musk's ambitious eye implants that "ultimately may exceed normal human vision" are unlikely to reach this lofty benchmark, according to scientists who have used 'virtual patients' to expose the ...

Scientists have successfully used human stem cells to patch a hole in a monkey’s retina, restoring the primate’s vision and marking a successful step forward in the quest to treat age-related vision ...

A group of scientists restored vision in a monkey by using human stem cells to fix a hole in its retina. The research could open new doors for vision treatment in humans and other animals, too. A new ...
