Blue Light From Smartphone, Computer Displays Can Accelerate Blindness: Study
The blue light emitting from these digital devices can affect your eye's retina and lead to age-related macular degeneration, a study claims.

Alzheimer's Proteins Behind Vision Loss in Elderly: Study
Researchers have found a group of proteins -- known to be the likely cause of Alzheimer's disease -- that get accumulated in the ageing retina causing damage to it and are also the key reason behind a vision loss condition among individuals aged 50 and older.

3D 'Mini-Retinas' Grown From Human Stem Cells
Scientists have developed an efficient way to make 3D 'mini retinas', which mimic the organ's tissue organisation, from mouse or human stem cells.

Heavy Smoking, Lack of Exercise Can Increase Eye Disorder Risk
Heavy smoking, poor diet and lack of exercise can put you at increased risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), especially if you have a family history of the blinding eye disorder, says a new study.

Indian-Origin Scientist Behind Most Detailed Map to Detect Vision Loss
Scientists, including one of Indian-origin, have created the most detailed map to date of a region of the human eye long associated with blinding diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration.

Fish Eaters at low risk of age-related eye disease
Older adults who eat oily fish at least once a week have a lower risk of serious vision loss from age-related macular degeneration.
-
Major cause of blindness inherited
Age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness in older adults, is greatly influenced by a person's genes.
-
Fat intake linked to age-related blindness
Consumption of fats, especially those in processed baked goods, may promote the progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a condition that is the leading cause of blindness from age 65. Fat in nuts is the only type that appears to protect against disease progression.
