Retinal research

Retinal research involves studying the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye that captures images and sends signals to the brain. Scientists investigate the structure, function, and diseases affecting the retina to understand conditions like age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and inherited disorders. This research includes exploring new diagnostic tools, treatments, and potential cures, such as gene therapy and advanced imaging techniques. Ultimately, retinal research aims to preserve or restore vision, helping millions maintain their sight and quality of life.
