'Twinkle after effect' can help retinal patients detect vision loss quickly and cheaply
Scientists at Schepens Eye Research Institute have discovered a simple and inexpensive way for patients with retinal and other eye disease to keep track of changes in their vision loss. view more (2007-10-24)
Researchers find new way to attack inflammation in Graves' eye disease
A small group of patients with severe Graves' eye disease experienced rapid improvement of their symptoms - and improved vision - following treatment with the drug rituximab. view more (2009-11-09)
UCSB researchers discover the dawn of animal vision
By peering deep into evolutionary history, scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara have discovered the origins of photosensitivity in animals. view more (2007-10-17)
Safety, efficacy of corneal transplant procedure confirmed; an antibiotic can cause double vision
Highlights of September's Ophthalmology, the journal of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (Academy), include a 2009 review by the Academy of the safety and efficacy of a widely used corneal transplant procedure and a warning about an unusual but serious reaction to systemic fluroquinolones, a class of antibiotics used to treat a variety of... view more...

'Twinkle after-effect' can help retinal patients detect vision loss quickly and cheaply
Scientists at Schepens Eye Research Institute, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School, have discovered a simple and inexpensive way for patients with retinal and other eye disease to keep track of changes in their vision loss. view more (2007-10-29)
Loss of central vision with age may be linked to quality of dietary carbohydrates
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of vision loss in older adults and a person's risk may partly depend upon diet. view more (2006-06-07)
New cataract gene discovered
The international team of researchers was able to identify the location and defect in the coding region of the gene through analysis of genetic material (DNA) from members of a large Swiss family, the majority of whom suffered from autosomal dominant juvenile cataract. view more (2008-02-15)
Face facts: People don't stand out in crowds
Why is it difficult to pick out even a familiar face in a crowd? We all experience this, but the phenomenon has been poorly understood until now. view more (2008-01-22)
Eye tests may predict future vision problems in preterm children
Testing the eyes of preterm children when they reach 2.5 years of age may predict vision problems at age 10. view more (2006-11-14)
Protein-protein interaction explains vision loss in genetic diseases
The mystery of genetic disease is only partially solved with the identification of a mutated gene. Often, the pattern of disease - the features or disorders associated with it - vary in type and severity among those who are affected. Scientists, physicians and patients all ask why. view more (2009-05-11)
Babies and their favourite colours
How do babies see colour and which ones do they prefer? The Surrey Baby Lab, part of UniS' Department of Psychology, was set up to investigate exactly this. With over 250 babies having visited so far, some very fascinating findings have been produced. Interestingly, it has been shown that infants, at just four-months old, can already categorise a... view more... (2005-03-08)
Blur's noise and distortion reversed
Errant pixels and blurry regions in a photo, whether digital or scanned, are the bane of photographers everywhere. view more (2009-07-09)
Vigorous Exercise May Help Prevent Vision Loss
There's another reason to dust off those running shoes. Vigorous exercise may help prevent vision loss, according to a pair of studies from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. view more (2009-02-10)
'Nature' and 'nurture' variables early predictors of AMD
Like many diseases, causes for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) can be categorized as either "nature" or "nurture". view more (2009-06-26)
UCLA study shows brain's ability to reorganize
Visually impaired people appear to be fearless, navigating busy sidewalks and crosswalks, safely finding their way using nothing more than a cane as a guide. view more (2009-11-19)
Small evolutionary shifts make big impacts -- like developing night vision, researchers find
In the developing fetus, cell growth follows a very specific schedule. In the eye's retina, for example, cones -- which help distinguish color during the day -- develop before the more light-sensitive rods -- which are needed for night vision. view more (2009-05-21)
Viagra®, unlikely tool for vision research, slows the visual response to flickering light
Therapeutic doses of Viagra® have been shown to influence the rate at which visual signals are integrated by the brain, affecting the way quick, repeated events, such as flickering light, are perceived. view more (2006-01-24)
LASIK for older adults
A new University of Illinois at Chicago study appearing in the online edition of the journal Ophthalmology reports on the safety, efficacy and predictability of laser eye surgery (laser in situ keratomileusis or LASIK) in patients 40-69 years old. view more (2007-04-19)
Cataract surgery helps AMD patients; steroid improves DME; online eye health forum
This month's Ophthalmology, the journal of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (Academy) reports on a national study that finds cataract surgery is likely to benefit patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) at all stages of the disease, on a clinical trial showing that the steroid triamcinolone may be effective in advanced diabetic... view more...

Dual-imaging technique useful before -- and during -- brain surgery
Brain specialists associated with the Neuroscience Institute at the University of Cincinnati (UC) and University Hospital say the ability to incorporate-in real time-two high-tech imaging tools into the operating room can improve the functional abilities of patients who undergo brain surgery. view more (2007-06-11)
