This damage to the retina is another means of vision loss due to the measles virus. With brain infection from measles, the inflammation and damage can affect the optic nerves and the visual cortex.

Animals show exceptional resilience in the face of sensory deficiencies, a capacity that is still largely misunderstood. In a study published in PNAS, scientists reveal how desert ants compensate for ...

“We’re talking about uncorrected visual loss, so how much you cannot see,” Dr. Livingston said. The magnitude of the vision loss corresponds to how much the risk increases, she added.

Taking semaglutide for weight loss and diabetes, which sells under popular brand names Ozempic and Wegovy, may be linked to an increased risk of developing an eye condition that can lead to vision ...

Event-based visual field progression was more likely in eyes with a faster initial OCTA progression (HR, 1.96; 95% CI, 1.04-3.69), with a similar association found between a faster initial OCT ...

Previous research suggests that loss of information from the eyes results in increased spontaneous activity in the visual cortex, which contributes to the occurrence of visual hallucinations in ...

Background There are more than one million National Health Service visits in England and Wales each year for patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension (OHT). With the ageing population and an ...

Summary: New research shows for the first time that visual hallucinations in people with macular degeneration are associated with abnormally heightened activity in the visual cortex of the brain.

Visual loss is a major concern for patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA). In this Review, the authors discuss visual loss and other ischaemic events in GCA, its epidemiology, associated risk ...
