Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, a bundle of nerve fibers that sends visual messages to the brain, leading to vision loss or blindness. Glaucoma usually happens ...

Scientists in China say they have developed an optical fibre technology that could pave the way for real-time endoscopies of nerve cells in the brain, as well as faster next-gen telecommunications.

For much of your life, it's right up against your retina at the back of your eye, near your optic nerve. Tiny fibers attach the gel to your retina. As you get older, the collagen and other ...
