Have you ever wondered how vaccines might affect parts of the body beyond the immune system? Most people think about arm soreness, fatigue, or fever, but your eyes rarely come to mind. A new study from researchers in Turkey examined how the Pfizer BioNTech COVID 19 vaccine may influence the cornea, the clear curved layer…
Medical science just achieved what many thought impossible: regenerating damaged eyes and restoring vision using stem cells. Researchers at Mass Eye and Ear developed a revolutionary treatment called CALEC (cultivated autologous limbal epithelial cells) that takes healthy stem cells from one eye, grows them in a lab, and transplants them into severely damaged corneas. Recent…
Most people blame dark circles under their eyes on late nights or stress, dismissing them as temporary cosmetic concerns that makeup can easily hide. However, your body might be sending urgent messages through these seemingly innocent shadows beneath your eyes. While some under-eye discoloration stems from harmless causes, certain types of dark circles may indicate…
How many times have you thought about your eyesight while eating a sandwich or grabbing fries on the go? Probably never. Most of us link diet to weight or heart health, not our ability to see clearly. But here’s the reality: the same everyday foods that mess with your blood sugar, raise your blood pressure,…
For millions of people living with blindness, especially those with no remaining treatment options, the idea of regaining even partial sight has long felt out of reach. That may be about to change. Researchers in the U.S. and Australia have developed groundbreaking bionic eye systems that bypass damaged parts of the visual pathway and deliver…
What if your child had never seen your face—not because of delay, but because they were born blind with no known treatment? That was the reality for Jace, a boy diagnosed as a baby with a rare genetic condition that left him legally blind. Doctors knew what caused it, but had no way to fix…
Imagine this: the scene before your eyes—a bustling street, a flickering screen, a loved one’s smile—may not be as immediate as you think. What if your brain is actually showing you a version of reality that’s 15 seconds old? Recent breakthroughs in neuroscience have uncovered that our brains might be compiling a ‘highlights reel’ of…
In a stunning medical achievement, Japan has marked a significant milestone by conducting the world’s first successful stem cell treatment aimed at restoring vision. This revolutionary procedure, which used reprogrammed stem cells to treat patients with severely impaired vision due to limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD), represents a beacon of hope not just for those…
In the ever-evolving landscape of medical technology, a groundbreaking procedure has offered new hope to those suffering from corneal blindness. With the successful implementation of an artificial cornea transplant, a 78-year-old man in Israel has regained his sight after a decade in darkness. In this article, we explore corneal blindness, the innovative process of artificial…
