Mark Milner is studying the switch between healthy and inflammatory microglia cells that could lead to the first treatment to reverse multiple sclerosis damage.

Scientists at UC Irvine have found a way to potentially reverse age-related vision loss by targeting the ELOVL2 “aging gene” and restoring vital fatty acids in the retina. Their experiments in mice show that supplementing with specific polyunsaturated fatty acids—not just DHA—can restore visual function and even reverse cellular aging signs.

In patients with low to moderate myopia, smoking was found to be a risk factor for vision impairment, according to a poster presentation at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology meeting.

The diabetes drugs Ozempic and Wegovy have been linked to an increased risk of sudden vision loss and blindness due to a rare eye condition known as NAION (non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy). If you or someone you love has experienced ...

Postdoctoral researcher Kamal Shokeen at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine studies how a key protein guides retinal progenitor cells to prevent developmental eye defects and vision loss.

Diabetes is the leading cause of vision loss in people between 18 and 64 years old, according to the American Diabetes Association — and the best way to prevent this is to control blood sugar levels. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1s ...
