Cure For Adult Lazy Eye 

Vidcast:  https://www.instagram.com/p/DSBM6S-jkSM/Lazy eye or amblyopia typically begins in childhood when one eye develops decreased vision.  It can occur due to poor eye alignment, so-called cross-eyes or strabismus, or due to the affected eye being not capable of focusing due to excessive near- or far-sightedness.  The accepted fact is that, once an eye shuts down, there is no way to recover the vision.MIT brain and cognitive scientists disagree and now report their studies showing vision recovery in the journal Cell Reports.  In a mouse model, they demonstrate that temporarily anesthetizing the weak eye’s retina for several days leads to rejuvenation of the brain’s optical pathways and sight recovery for that eye when the anesthesia wears off.The investigators now plan confirmatory studies in primates to be followed by clinical trials. Their current success suggests that adult optical nervous pathways are capable of more regeneration than once thought.https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-11-vision-rebooted-adults-amblyopia.htmlhttps://www.cell.com/cell-reports/fulltext/S2211-1247(25)01338-5?_returnURL=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S2211124725013385?showall=true#amblyopia #lazyeye #retina #anesthesia
