The discovery by a Leeds University scientist of a new blindness gene could help to save the sight of thousands of sufferers of retinal disease which affects premature babies as well as people over 60. view more (2004-11-03)
The aye-ayes have it: The preservation of color vision in a creature of the night
A quest to gain a more complete picture of color vision evolution has led Biodesign Institute researcher Brian Verrelli to an up-close, genetic encounter with one of the world's most rare and bizarre-looking primates. view more (2007-09-05)
Age-related vision problems may be associated with cognitive impairment
Older patients with advanced age-related macular degeneration and reduced vision may be more likely to also have cognitive impairment, or problems with thinking, learning and memory. view more (2006-04-11)
Gold beads show previously unseen parts of the eye
A new study recently published in Journal of Vision, an online, free access publication of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), shows that gold beads injected into eye tissue can be used to obtain images of important structures in the orbit that cannot be seen with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or other imaging... view more...

Choosing the wood using artificial vision
Amongst the TR+D projects financed by the Basque Government INTEK programme, the IT Department at CIDEMCO, in conjunction with the CEIT Centre of Technology, the CVC company, and furniture manufacturers BIOK, XEY and DANONA, have finished the final phase of the development of an artificial vision system for the formulation of colorants for the... view more...

EYE DAMAGE AFTER SOLAR ECLIPSE NOT AS HIGH AS EXPECTED (p199)
Damage to the sight of those who looked directly at the sun during the eclipse of August 1999 may not be as bad as expected, reports a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Looking at the sun can cause burns to the retina. The UK Department of Health's advice at the time of the eclipse was to use an indirect method of looking at the... view more... (2001-01-18)
Cerebrospinal Fluid Restores Vision
A new method for visual impairment treatment has been discovered by researchers of the Institute of Human Brain, Russian Academy of Sciences. The patients suffering from visual impairment can be helped if a healthy donor's cerebrospinal fluid is introduced to the parent's vertebral canal - this method is called liquortransfusion. Physiologists... view more... (2004-11-01)
Vision loss more common in people with diabetes
Visual impairment appears to be more common in people with diabetes than in those without the disease, according to a report in the October issue of Archives of Ophthalmology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-10-14)
The First Robot Librarian Is Born At The University Jaume I
A team of researchers from the Intelligent Robotics Laboratory at the University Jaume I (UJI) in Castell'łn, Spain, has created the first automat capable of performing the tasks usually carried out by a library clerk. The robot uses speech-recognition to identify the book that is being requested, then determines its location, goes to the shelf,... view more... (2004-07-01)
As robots learn to imitate
Can robots learn to communicate by studying and imitating humans' gestures? That's what MIRROR's researchers aimed to find out by studying how infants and monkeys learn complex acts such as grasping and transferring it to robots. view more (2004-12-22)
New evidence that popular dietary supplement may help prevent, treat cataracts
Researchers are reporting evidence from tissue culture experiments that the popular dietary supplement carnosine may help to prevent and treat cataracts, a clouding of the lens of the eye that is a leading cause of vision loss worldwide. view more (2009-07-16)
Pioneers in field of functional genomics work toward gene therapy for vision defects
"Primates and humans have three photoreceptors and can only see four basic colors, red, green, blue and yellow," says Jay Neitz, Ph.D. "Birds, fish and reptiles have four photoreceptors, allowing them to see things we cannot. They must see an entire dimension of color, including ultraviolet, infrared and all the combinations... view more... (2006-12-12)
Machine vision can assist
Machine vision provides a unique capability for understanding human actions. Based on a passive sensing technology, it allows for the coverage of large areas with a single sensor, without need for physical contact. Professor Matti Pietik'¤inen is in charge of the machine vision research team whose aim it is to equip the environment with several... view more... (2005-04-07)
UAB Tear Research Focused on Contact Lens Risks, Benefit
Contact lenses are great for sight, but do they have an impact on general eye health? Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) School of Optometry are working to answer that question by analyzing tears. view more (2009-05-07)
Elephant shark genome sequence leads to discovery of color perception in deep-sea fish
The elephant shark, a primitive deep-sea fish that belongs to the oldest living family of jawed vertebrates, can see color much like humans can. view more (2009-03-18)
New 'implanted contacts' designed to fix nearsightedness
UT Southwestern Medical Center ophthalmologists will be the first in the area to insert a new type of implanted lens to fix nearsightedness. view more (2006-02-28)
Experimental treatments restore partial vision to blind people
Two experimental treatments, a retinal prosthesis and fetal tissue transplant, restored some vision to people with blinding eye diseases. The findings, presented at Neuroscience 2009, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and the world's largest source of emerging news on brain science and health, may lead to new treatments for the... view more...

Technique enhances digital television viewing for visually-impaired
Scientists at Schepens Eye Research Institute have found that people with low vision can improve their ability to see and enjoy television with a new technique that allows them to enhance the contrast of images of people and objects of interest on their digital televisions. view more (2008-01-16)
Results with newer bladeless LASIK equivalent to standard microkeratome LASIK
A Mayo Clinic study comparing femtosecond (bladeless) and mechanical microkeratome LASIK surgeries has found equal results from both types six months post-surgery, using a variety of vision and eye health measurements. view more (2006-05-04)
Dolphins maintain round-the-clock visual vigilance
Dolphins have a clever trick for overcoming sleep deprivation. Sam Ridgway from the US Navy Marine Mammal Program explains that they are able to send half of their brains to sleep while the other half remains conscious. view more (2009-05-01)
