Scientists report major breakthrough in age-related macular degeneration prevention
Scientists at Trinity College Dublin have discovered that a part of the immune system called the inflammasome is involved in regulating the development of one of the most common forms of blindness, called Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). They have discovered that controlling an inflammatory component IL-18, in cases of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) could prevent…

Nerve Injury Appears to be Root of Diabetes-related Vision Loss
Diabetes-related vision loss most often is blamed on blood vessel damage in and around the retina, but new research indicates that much of that vision loss may result from nerve cell injury that occurs long before any blood vessels are damaged. After three months on a high-fat diet, the animals had developed obesity-related glucose intolerance,…
Retinal Ischemia Tied to Variant of Acute Macular Neuroretinopathy
Paracentral acute middle maculopathy is a newly identified variant of acute macular neuroretinopathy that appears to result from retinal capillary ischemia, according to a retrospective observational case series. “This has been traditionally a very rare disease but now with advanced retinal imaging systems such as spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and infrared reflectance imaging…
Retinopathy Prevalence Decreasing in Diabetic Adolescents
A 20-year observational study has chronicled notable declines in retinopathy for young patients with type 1 diabetes who receive intensive glycemic control therapy, confirming earlier findings that found a link between normalized blood glucose levels and the slower progression of eye, kidney, and nerve damage. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/752133
