Innovations in eye disease diagnostics and treatment are advancing. KAIST researchers have developed a wireless OLED contact lens for enhanced retinal diagnostics, offering new avenues for non-invasive monitoring. Cell-penetrating asymmetric siRNAs (cp-asiRNAs) have been designed to convert rod cells toward cone-like phenotypes, potentially restoring vision loss in retinal degeneration disorders such as retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration. Additionally, a study highlights increased risks of optic nerve disorders linked to diabetes medications semaglutide and tirzepatide, underscoring the need for vigilant monitoring.
