The Indian-born British-American author Salman Rushdie lost the sight in his right eye, sustained serious wounds to his neck, face and abdomen and was left with his hand temporarily incapacitated after a stabbing at a 2022 literary event in Chautauqua, New York. Speaking to the media for the first t
US researchers have developed a new type of lens that uses a spiral-shaped surface to maintain a clear focus at different distances in varying light conditions. The new lens works much like progressive lenses but without the distortions typically seen with those lenses, reported the research team in
Innovent Biologics announced its phase 3 registrational study (Restore-1) of IBI311, a recombinant anti-insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor antibody, in Chinese subjects with thyroid eye disease (TE
The UK’s Association of Optometrists (AOP) has welcomed the British Labour Party’s commitment to working with primary care optometry to reduce hospital waiting times if it is elected as the next government.
A single injection of a drug which clears senescent retinal cells led to long-term visual improvements in patients with diabetic macular oedema (DMO), US researchers reported.
An Italian study of type 1 hereditary angioedema (HAE) found patients’ subclinical retinal abnormalities support the potential role of Spectral-domain OCT/OCT-angiography as a useful tool in patients’
A report from the Fred Hollows Foundation shows the return on investment (ROI) for eye disease interventions are among the highest of any disease modelled on similar investment scenarios. On average, cataract surgery returns US$20.50 for every dollar spent while refractive error treatments return US

A UK study, published in New Scientist, found blue-eyed individuals were better able to read in dimmer lighting conditions compared with brown-eyed subjects.
Researchers from Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research (IGD) have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI)-driven, automated method for 3D printing prosthetic eyes, which is now in u
