A study of over 2,500 adults found that visual impairment is strongly associated with cognitive decline. Maintaining good vision through prevention and treatment may help reduce age-related cognitive changes.
A new study reports the first small molecule targeted therapy for progressive hearing loss in a mouse model of USH3, which causes devastating symptoms. The discovery holds promise for real-world translation and could prevent both sensory deficiencies in USH3 patients.
A new study finds that moderately farsighted preschoolers and kindergarten students perform worse in early literacy than children with normal vision. The researchers hope this research is an important step in clearing up the uncertainty surrounding what to do with these kids.
Researchers at the University of York found that our colour perception changes between seasons and is influenced by environmental factors. The study revealed that unique yellow remains stable across large populations despite individual differences in eye biology.
A study published in JAMA Network found that the medication acetazolamide, combined with a low-sodium weight-reduction diet, improved vision in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension. The treatment resulted in modest improvement in visual loss compared to a placebo.
A new study reveals that girls with NF1 are at greater risk of vision loss from brain tumors, while boys are more vulnerable to learning disabilities. The research identifies gender-linked differences in male mice that may help explain these findings.
This year's class of distinguished fellows recognizes outstanding leadership and service in vision research. The ARVO Fellows will be officially inducted at the Association's Annual Meeting, May 1, 2023.
A new report by World Vision highlights the need for direct healthcare investment in families and communities to tackle preventable child and maternal deaths. The organization calls on world leaders to prioritize these efforts to meet Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 4 and 5 targets.

The research suggests re-framing the issue helps people better understand and relate to the climate problem.
The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) has announced its inaugural class of Fellows, honoring members who have made significant contributions to vision research and ophthalmology. The ARVO Fellow title recognizes outstanding achievements in leadership, collaboration, and dedication to advancing the field.
Research found that individuals' expectations of recovering from whiplash injuries are crucial in predicting their likelihood of recovery. Patients who expected to make a full recovery were more likely to have fewer disability symptoms six months later.
Parkinson's disease impacts brain's centers of touch and vision, affecting more than just motor control. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) reveals widespread abnormalities in somatosensory and visual cortex.
