An experimental gene therapy that involves injecting CRISPR therapy directly into visually impaired patients’ eyeballs has vastly improved most volunteers’ vision — even allowing some to see color ...
Genetic diseases are a compelling target for viral gene therapy, but the results can be spotty at best. There's good news, though. On Wednesday, researchers presented evidence from a breakthrough gene ...

The most common types of color blindness, or color vision deficiency, are genetic. However, other types may develop due to injuries, eye diseases, health problems, and side effects of treatment.
One of the ways scientists hope to offer better treatments for vision loss is through gene therapy, where carefully selected genetic material is injected into the eyes to address mutations.
Two people with a rare inherited eye disorder have had their night vision restored by an experimental gene therapy, researchers say. These two individuals are part of an ongoing clinical trial testing ...
If your child struggles with their vision, focus, or eye control, they might also have low self-esteem due to the way their condition is being perceived by others. Your child’s doctor or ...
Using specialized filters, people with colorblindness may see more colors. — -- When 17-year-old Cole Williams was surprised by co-workers with the Christmas gift of Enchroma colorblindness ...
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) gradually affects central vision in one or both eyes while leaving peripheral vision (on the sides) intact. This peripheral vision – encompassing everything you ...
Color is more than a sensory pleasure; it is a tool refined by evolution. Our ability to perceive a broad spectrum of hues is a remarkable biological achievement shaped by survival pressures, social ...
