When the macular layer of an older adult’s right eye retina becomes thicker, the person is more likely to experience postoperative delirium, a study shows. That was the case for older patients who ...

the retinal tissues remained viable. These human tissue data provide a key first step supporting human trials of the eye drops. The research was funded by the NEI Intramural Research Program.

Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study researchers discovered the blood vessels at the back of the eye – called retinal microvasculature ... in the real world yet, but ...

Researchers from the University of Otago have found a possible link between eye health and the risk of developing dementia.
