Refractive errors affect vision for half of American adults
About half of U.S. adults age 20 and older have refractive errors, or eye problems that result in less than 20/20 vision, according to a report in the August issue of Archives of Ophthalmology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-08-12)
No need for children with lazy eye to wear patches all day
Children with amblyopia (commonly known as lazy eye) need only wear an eye patch for three to four hours a day for 12 weeks to improve vision, say researchers in a study published on bmj.com today. view more (2007-09-17)
Computer vision
Widespread crime and the rise of global terrorism have meant that security systems need to incorporate sophisticated and rapid computer recognition of human faces, as delegates will hear next week at the British Machine Vision Conference being held at the University of East Anglia (UEA). Another side of the same coin is in making human faces that... view more... (2003-09-02)
MIT retinal implant could help restore some vision
MIT engineers have designed a retinal implant for people who have lost their vision from retinitis pigmentosa or age-related macular degeneration, two of the leading causes of blindness. view more (2009-09-24)
Repair not destruction: A new approach to treating retinopathy
Many diseases of the eye (such as retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and diabetic retinopathy) that result in loss of vision are the result of the growth of abnormal blood vessels that leak and bleed. view more (2006-11-17)
Test for visual acuity could aid detection, rehabilitation of AMD
A computer-based method for evaluating the eye's ability to distinguish object details and shape in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) could provide a more accurate way to assess the effectiveness of eye surgery or vision rehabilitation interventions with devices and training, according to a Canadian study. view more (2007-10-30)
A vision to establish the UK as a global leader in oceanography

'Gecko vision': Key to the multifocal contact lens of the future?
Nocturnal geckos are among the very few living creatures able to see colors at night, and scientists' discovery of series of distinct concentric zones may lead to insight into better cameras and contact lenses. view more (2009-05-08)
Study shows that color plays musical chairs in the brain
Color is normally thought of as a fundamental attribute of an object: a red Corvette, a blue lake, a pink flamingo. Yet despite this popular notion, new research suggests that our perception of color is malleable, and relies heavily on biological processes of the eye and brain. view more (2009-10-02)
Glaucoma procedure now available at Mayo Clinic aims to prevent further eye damage
For the first time in Florida, patients with glaucoma have a new treatment option known as the Trabectome. view more (2008-06-26)
Scientists find color vision system independent of motion detection
The vision system used to process color is separate from that used to detect motion, according to a new study by researchers at New York University's Center for Developmental Genetics and in the Department of Genetics and Neurobiology at Germany's University of Würzburg. view more (2008-03-20)

Type 1 diabetics required for ground-breaking vision study
OPTOMETRY researchers at Aston University's new £10 million Academy of Life Sciences are currently undertaking ground-breaking research into the vision problems caused by diabetics - one of the leading causes of blindness and vision loss in the UK. So far, the study has been very successful with a large number of diabetic volunteers stepping... view more... (2005-04-13)
Deaf-blind woman deafer than deaf-blind man
Dutch researcher Ronald Pennings has found new clinical and genetic characteristics for two different inherited syndromes that cause deaf-blindness. One of the two syndromes appears to cause more hearing impairment in women than in men. Pennings investigated Wolfram syndrome and Usher syndrome. These are two inherited syndromes that cause both... view more... (2004-05-07)
Wound botulism
In a case study in PLoS Medicine, doctors report on the case of a 35 year old heroin user who came to the accident and emergency department with double vision, slurred speech, drooping eyelids, and eye muscle weakness. The diagnosis turned out to be wound botulism. view more (2006-12-26)
Retina transplants show promise in patients with retinal degeneration
Preliminary research shows encouraging results with transplantation of retinal cells in patients with blindness caused by retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). view more (2008-07-11)
LASIK works well, according to long-term study of highly myopic patients
Laser surgery to correct vision problems has been in use since the early 1990s. Photorefractive Keratotomy (PRK) is typically used to correct low to moderate myopia, while laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is preferred for high myopia corrections. view more (2007-12-28)
Study questions assumptions about human sensitivity to biological motion
Humans may not be any more sensitive in detecting biological motion compared with nonbiological motion, concludes a study recently published in Journal of Vision, an online, free-access publication of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO). view more (2007-10-18)
Vision problems prompt older drivers to put down the keys
With 30 million drivers in the US aged 65 and over, we count on older Americans to recognize when they can no longer drive safely and decide that it's time to stay off the road. A new study finds that a decrease in vision function is a key factor in bringing about this decision. view more (2009-01-07)
