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 ...

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

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

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 ...

Axolotls have terrible eyesight. Nocturnal and sensitive to light, the Mexican salamander relies largely on smell and water movement to hunt in the wild. It's ironic, then, that these little critters ...

The human eye can see millions of colors — but no eyes have ever before beheld “olo.” Only five people on the planet have witnessed this brand new color, thanks to the efforts of a team of researchers ...

The new color, "olo," is a hyper-saturated version of blue-green Getty Scientists conducting targeted retinal stimulation claim to have discovered a new color. In a study published in Science Advances ...
