Vision loss from retinal disease is one of the big Vision loss from retinal disease is one of the biggest challenges in eye health today, but new research is helping scientists better understand how to protect sight. Anton Lennikov, MD, PhD, a physician‑investigator at the Schepens Eye Research Institute at Mass Eye and Ear, is leading research focused on calming harmful inflammation in the retina and helping it heal. His team studies lab‑grown human retinal tissue that closely mirrors the real human eye, allowing them to see how disease develops and how treatments may work. They are also exploring targeted immune therapies that help quiet damaging immune responses while keeping the eye’s natural defenses intact, along with gentle electrical stimulation that may support retinal cell health and recovery. Read more in the Q&A at mgriblog.org, where Dr. Lennikov explains his innovative research approaches and what these discoveries could mean for the future of vision care.
