Genetic diseases are a compelling target for viral gene therapy, but the results can be spotty at best. There's good news, though. On Wednesday, researchers presented evidence from a breakthrough gene ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece is part of a series dedicated to the eye and improvements in restoring vision. In 1999, I defined ...

An experimental gene therapy that involves injecting CRISPR therapy directly into visually impaired patients’ eyeballs has vastly improved most volunteers’ vision — even allowing some to see color ...

For her entire life, college student Olivia Cook had only a small degree of central vision. It was as if she was watching the world through a straw hole, and in dimly lit places, she could not make ...

The most common types of color blindness, or color vision deficiency, are genetic. However, other types may develop due to injuries, eye diseases, health problems, and side effects of treatment.

An investigational gene therapy has shown promise for improving functional vision and restoring light detection in long-dormant rods and cones in the retina in adults and children with a rare form of ...

UC Berkeley scientists tricked the eye into seeing "the greenest green" they'd ever seen. They say it could transform how we understand and treat eye diseases, and expand the way we see the world ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece is part of a series dedicated to the eye and improvements in restoring vision. This marks the first story ...

Color blindness, or color vision deficiency, causes a person to see colors differently from most other people. There are several types of color blindness. Color vision deficiency or loss has multiple ...
