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)
Large Area High Definition Television (HDTV) prototype based on Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) Light Valves.
The microsystems group TFCG/IMEC at the University of Gent has developed a large area High Definition Television (HDTV) prototype based on Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) light valves. This work is carried out in collaboration with the Taiwanese company TMDC. The LCoS HDTV is most suited for multimedia and DVD home-theater applications. The R&D... view more... (2003-04-30)
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...

Tool tackles translucence and other color challenges
Plain old colors are passé. Complex visual effects, such as pearlescence, translucence, iridescence and glitter, help sell many products, including cars, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and military hardware. view more (2005-11-07)
Predators ignore peculiar prey
Rare traits persist in a population because predators detect common forms of prey more easily. view more (2009-05-13)
Feather color is more than skin deep
Where do birds get their red feathers from? According to Esther del Val, from the National History Museum in Barcelona, Spain, and her team, the red carotenoids that give the common crossbill (Loxia curvirostra) its red coloration are produced in the liver, not the skin, as previously thought. view more (2009-04-16)
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)
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)
Promising early evidence of the superior benefits of drug therapy for diabetic eye disease
A JDRF collaboration between Johns Hopkins researchers and Genentech has shown that a drug for the treatment of diabetic eye disease has performed better in clinical trials than the current standard treatment using laser surgery. view more (2008-04-30)
Light shed on vision and hearing disorders
The most common hereditary condition that affects both hearing and vision is Usher Syndrome (USH). In the next issue of The EMBO Journal, scientists at the Institut Pasteur report on studies that have established the first link between Myosin VIIa, Cadherin 23 and Harmonin b. These three proteins were previously known to be involved in the... view more... (2002-12-16)
Adults with lazy eye can improve
Young adults with amblyopia, or lazy eye, can improve substantially and retain their gains under a new treatment developed by researchers at USC and three Chinese universities. view more (2005-12-21)
New fabricated material changes color instantly in response to external magnetic field
A research team led by a chemist at the University of California, Riverside has fabricated microscopic polymer beads that change color instantly and reversibly when external magnetic fields acting upon the microspheres change orientation. view more (2009-06-17)
Can brain-injured, partially-blind stroke patients regain some of their lost vision?
Is it possible to offer hope for stroke patients who've lose part of their vision? A study published by SAGE in the journal Neurorehabilitation & Neural Repair explores that question. view more (2007-09-05)
Automated system delivers packages and profits
EUREKA project E! 2007 FACTORY PACK 2000 developed much more than a new packaging process for large items such as furniture and stone flooring. The system includes an advanced vision system, uses only one recyclable packaging material, offers additional environmental benefits by using less material and producing less waste - and is set to generate... view more...

New device may improve vision and mobility for people with tunnel vision
Scientists at Schepens Eye Research Institute, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School, say a visual aid they invented promises to improve the visual abilities of people with tunnel vision. view more (2006-08-30)
Progression of retinal disease linked to cell starvation
Rods and cones coexist peacefully in healthy retinas. Both types of cells occupy the same layer of tissue and send signals when they detect light, which is the first step in vision. view more (2008-12-08)
Preserving time on film
No one would dispute that the cultural assets of humankind should be preserved for future generations. This applies equally to old books as the traditional form of stored knowledge as to prints, drawings and paintings. Gaining access to valuable, sensitive originals can be very difficult even for a bona fide expert, and is often simply impossible... view more... (2003-02-20)
