Golden eyes: How gold nanoparticles may one day help to restore people's vision

A new study by Brown University researchers suggests that gold nanoparticles—microscopic bits of gold thousands of times thinner than a human hair—might one day be used to help restore vision in people with macular degeneration and other retinal disorders.

Peripheral Vision in Patients Following Intraocular Lens Implantation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

To update the literature on peripheral optics and vision following intraocular lens (IOLs) implantation.We investigated how current IOLs influence per…

Study finds gold can hold the key to let people see way better

Researchers have discovered that a particular form of gold can actually help people see way better by improving the eye's vision. Read more...

Gold Nanoparticles Restore Vision in Macular Degeneration

A new study shows that gold nanoparticles injected into the retina can restore vision in mice with retinal degeneration, offering a less invasive alternative to current retinal prostheses. When activated by patterned infrared light, these nanoparticles stimulate retinal cells, bypassing damaged photoreceptors.

Golden Horizons: The Potential of Gold Nanoparticles in Vision Restoration

A revolutionary breakthrough in vision restoration has emerged from Brown University, where researchers have unveiled the potential of gold nanoparticles to remedy vision loss caused by retinal disorders like macular degeneration. This innovative approach, which operates without the need for complicated surgeries or genetic modifications, could mark a significant shift in how such conditions are treated. The foundation of the research is built o…
