Researchers at Occidental College and the University of California, Irvine are developing an experimental technique that uses mild electrical pulses and a platinum “contact lens” to temporarily soften the cornea and reshape it without lasers or incisions.
A large pharmacovigilance analysis of reports submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration has found that Wegovy (semaglutide) showed a stronger-than-expected reporting signal for ischemic optic neuropathy, a rare condition that can cause sudden vision loss, compared with other semaglutide products. The study was published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology.

A 2×2 millimeter wireless retinal implant system helped many people with advanced geographic atrophy due to age-related macular degeneration regain functional central vision in a multicenter European study, according to results published in The New England Journal of Medicine.
A clinical trial has shown that an innovative retinal implant called PRIMA, paired with augmented-reality glasses, enables blind patients with dry age-related macular degeneration to read again. The study, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, involved 38 participants across five countries, with 84% regaining the ability to recognize letters, numbers, and words. This marks a significant advancement in artificial vision for a condition affecting millions worldwide.
