A new study found that a novel mRNA-based therapy that targets a protein called RUNX1 may be able to prevent blindness and scarring from proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), a disease caused by a ...

Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is an eye condition that leads to blindness and can currently only be addressed with surgery. A team led by research hospital Massachusetts Eye and Ear and German ...

Why did a 38-year-old woman with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) develop choroidal Yasunari nodules in both eyes? That's what Danish clinicians had to figure out when the patient presented for a ...

Tractional retinal detachment occurs if scar tissue in the eye causes the retina to move out of position. It requires immediate medical attention. The retina is a light-sensitive layer of cells at the ...

A healthy retina contains organised light-sensitive layers of neurons at the back of the eye. Upon retinal scarring, it can result in retinal detachment with loss of these organised layers and visual ...
