Sight can recover quickly in amblyopia
New research findings led by Thomas Krahe and Ary S. Ramoa of Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine offer two pieces of good news for treating children with amblyopia. view more (2005-10-20)
Study says eyes evolved for X-Ray vision
The advantage of using two eyes to see the world around us has long been associated solely with our capacity to see in 3-D. Now, a new study from a scientist at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has uncovered a truly eye-opening advantage to binocular vision: our ability to see through things. view more (2008-08-29)
Infantile esotropia linked to developmental delays
Babies with an eye-alignment disorder called infantile esotropia have delays in motor development milestones, but development "catches up" after corrective surgery, reports a study in the April Journal of AAPOS (American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus). view more (2008-04-18)
Researchers discover second depth-perception method in brain
It's common knowledge that humans and other animals are able to visually judge depth because we have two eyes and the brain compares the images from each. But we can also judge depth with only one eye, and scientists have been searching for how the brain accomplishes that feat. view more (2008-03-17)
Large binocular telescope achieves first binocular light
The Large Binocular Telescope on Mount Graham, Ariz., has taken celestial images using its twin side-by-side, 8.4-meter (27.6 foot) primary mirrors together, achieving first "binocular" light. view more (2008-03-06)
Oxford University's Research into the Brain Aided by Virtalis
VIRTALIS has designed and implemented a Virtual Reality (VR) facility for a new laboratory based at the University Laboratory of Physiology, Oxford. The Wellcome Trust provided a £500,000 grant to cover the cost of the specialist equipment and its installation. The Virtual Reality Research Group is headed by Dr. Andrew Glennerster and is... view more... (2003-04-30)
New Study Indicates Radiologists Need Standards to Ensure Optimal Visual Accuracy
Radiologists, like professional pilots for example, depend on good vision as part of their occupation. However, radiologists unlike pilots are not required to undergo regular vision testing. view more (2009-06-10)
Neural noise created during binocular rivalry
Neural "noise" may cause you to miss important changes in your environment when you are concentrating on something else, new research indicates. view more (2009-06-19)
Human vision inadequate for research on bird vision
The most attractive male birds attract more females and as a result are most successful in terms of reproduction. This is the starting point of many studies looking for factors that influence sexual selection in birds. view more (2008-05-13)
Can we 'learn to see?': Study shows perception of invisible stimuli improves with training
Although we assume we can see everything in our field of vision, the brain actually picks and chooses the stimuli that come into our consciousness. view more (2009-10-22)
Looking forward to better travel
These were the findings of a study published today, Monday 15 November, in the British Journal of Psychology, by Mark Turner of Portsmouth University, and Professor Michael Griffin of Southampton University's Institute of Sound and Vibration Research. view more (1999-11-15)
Names turn preschoolers into vegetable lovers
Do you have a picky preschooler who's avoiding their vegetables? A new Cornell University study shows that giving vegetables catchy new names - like X-Ray Vision Carrots and Tomato Bursts - left preschoolers asking for more. view more (2009-03-02)
Behavioral studies show UV contributes to marsupial color vision
Work reported this week provides new evidence that marsupials, like primates, have functional color vision based on three different types of color photoreceptor cones-but unlike primates, a component of marsupial color vision includes sensitivity to ultraviolet wavelengths. view more (2006-03-21)
NYU scientists set stage for understanding how color vision is processed
New York University biologists have mapped the medulla circuitry in fruit flies, setting the stage for subsequent research on how color vision is processed. view more (2008-03-26)
Vision and hearing loss often occur together in older age
Older adults with vision loss may be more likely to also have hearing loss, and the opposite appears true as well. view more (2006-10-10)
'Twinkle' eye test could improve AMD diagnosis
Scientists at UCL (University College London) have developed a more reliable test for detecting vision loss in people with age-related macular disease (AMD), the leading cause of blindness in the UK and US. The method, which centres on a visual illusion, could lead to earlier self-diagnosis of sight deterioration - encouraging patients to access... view more... (2007-10-25)
Near vision research study
The Cornea and Laser Eye Institute is participating in a research study to determine if an investigational corneal inlay can safely and effectively reduce the need for reading glasses. Dr. Peter Hersh, the study doctor, will perform the procedures. view more (2009-11-06)
VTT technology helps in the assembly of microscopic components
Nowadays, micro-sized components that are invisible to the human eye are already being used both in electronics products and elsewhere. Components range from a millimetre to a micrometre in size and are getting even smaller. VTT has developed a unique prototype machine viewer system for use in the assembly and quality inspection of parts in this... view more... (2001-12-05)
Test allows early detection of vision problems in infants with hemangiomas of eyelids
In children with vascular birthmarks around the eye, even partial blockage of vision can lead to visual loss due to amblyopia. view more (2009-04-01)
Vision impairment costs billions lost in productivity
Corrected vision impairment could prevent billions of dollars in lost productivity annually. view more (2009-06-03)
