Researchers have identified 107 genes that increase a person's risk of developing the eye disease glaucoma, and now developed a genetic test to detect those at risk of going blind from it. The ...

Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness in the U.S. for those over forty, but this disease can develop at earlier ages of life as well. Intraocular pressure, fluid pressure inside the eye, can ...

UNSW Australia scientists have developed a testing protocol that identifies the blinding eye disease glaucoma four years earlier than current techniques. The patented method involves patients looking ...

From artificial intelligence to home monitoring, Joel Schuman, MD, of Wills Eye Hospital, explores the innovations that could ...

Glaucoma is a chronic condition that affects cells at the back of the eye. It is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, and is responsible for 1 in 10 cases of serious sight impairment ...

A new screening test that takes less than a minute is making it possible to diagnosis glaucoma earlier than ever before. The test is part of a new arsenal of diagnostic procedures and drug treatments ...

The disease is usually related to unhealthy pressure inside the eye, but often, symptoms are so subtle people don't even know they have it until it begins to steal their sight. An at home test could ...

We've seen smartphones work as electrocardiograms, so why not use them to test for glaucoma at home? That's the idea behind Cambridge Consultants' Viewi headset. Rather than hitting the hospital or ...
