New light detector
A novel prototype light meter has been developed by researchers in New York. Published today in the Institute of Physics journal, Measurement Science and Technology, this new retinal flux density meter will provide an affordable tool for measuring light at all levels and might ultimately lead to new standards to improve both energy efficiency and... view more...

New supplement may help slow sight loss in elderly
Queen's University Belfast academics have helped develop an antioxidant supplement which may slow down sight loss in elderly people. view more (2009-06-19)
True colors are in the brain of the beholder
Pictures of brain waves that reveal our ability to see colour could provide a new objective way to diagnose and monitor diseases that affect human colour perception. view more (2006-08-10)
Stanford researchers sniff out gene that gives dogs black fur
A discovery about the genetics of coat color in dogs could help explain why humans come in different weights and vary in our abilities to cope with stress, a team led by researchers from the Stanford University School of Medicine reports. view more (2007-10-31)
Drug treatment slows macular vision loss in diabetics
A drug commonly used to slow the loss of central vision has shown promise in stemming a common precursor of blindness in diabetics, which involves the same central light-sensitive area of retina, Johns Hopkins Wilmer Eye Institute scientists report. view more (2006-12-18)
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)
See the force: Mechanical stress leads to self-sensing in solid polymers
Parachute cords, climbing ropes, and smart coatings for bridges that change color when overstressed are several possible uses for force-sensitive polymers being developed by researchers at the University of Illinois. view more (2009-05-07)
Sustainably grown garlic
Consumer interest in new and diverse types of garlic is on the rise. Fueled by factors including the growth of the "local foods" movement, interest in world cuisines, and widespread reports touting its numerous health benefits, demand for high-quality, locally grown garlic is increasing throughout the U.S. view more (2009-11-04)
New study suggests the brain predicts what eyes in motion will see
When the eyes move, objects in the line of sight suddenly jump to a different place on the retina, but the mind perceives the scene as stable and continuous. view more (2009-08-26)
Radiation therapy can help spare vision in patients with melanoma of the eye
Treating a rare form of eye cancer with radiation therapy can spare patients from significant vision loss. view more (2005-10-19)
Researchers identify gene associated with muscular dystrophy-related vision problems
Skeletal muscle disease and vision deficits might seem unrelated, but a frog model of muscular dystrophy shows it is not such a leap. view more (2009-04-21)
Fine motor skills, social acceptance lower in children with 'lazy eye'
A recent study evaluating the fine motor skills and perceived self esteem of children with amblyopia (or "lazy eye") compared with age-matched children will be presented during the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) 2007 Annual Meeting in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. view more (2007-05-09)
'Vision' - Helping Revive Flagging Industrial Areas
An Internet-based system to help revive flagging areas hit by the decline of traditional heavy industry, such as steel and mining, has been developed with the help of 850,000 euros from the EU's Framework Programme. view more (2005-01-18)
Innovative surgery corrects vision in kids with neurological disorders
Children with cerebral palsy and other neurological problems often have extremely poor eyesight. view more (2006-10-11)
New surgical implant tested at U-Iowa prevents total blindness
A work accident leaves a woman blind in one eye. As she copes with the loss, within months the vision in the other, previously uninjured eye begins to blur, and the eye becomes red and inflamed. view more (2009-02-19)
Million pound study to help prevent blindness
A one million pound award to Cardiff University from the Medical Research Council is enabling researchers to conduct the world's most wide-ranging study into one of the body's most intriguing components - the cornea of the eye. At the front of the eyeball, the cornea is the transparent 'window' through which we see the coloured iris and the pupil.... view more... (2001-07-05)
Cats' Eye Diseases Genetically Linked to Diseases in Humans
About one in 3,500 people are affected with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a disease of the retina's visual cells that eventually leads to blindness. Now, a University of Missouri researcher has identified a genetic link between cats and humans for two different forms of RP. This discovery will help scientists develop gene-based therapies that will... view more... (2009-03-05)
An inexpensive 'dipstick' test for pesticides in foods
Scientists in Canada are reporting the development of a fast, inexpensive "dipstick" test to identify small amounts of pesticides that may exist in foods and beverages. view more (2009-11-05)
Serious vision problems in urban preschoolers rare but not that rare, Hopkins study shows
In what is believed to be the first comprehensive eye disease study among urban pre-schoolers, Johns Hopkins investigators report that while vision problems are rare, they are more common than once thought. Also, they say, a small group of children with easily treatable visions problems go untreated, while others get treatments they don't need. view more (2009-04-01)
Because cleaner grains make finer flour
A new computer program devised by British physicists can quickly spot tiny beetles, rodent droppings and ergot (a poisonous mould) in grain destined for flour and bread manufacture. The researchers reveal details of their work today in the Institute of Physics journal Measurement Science and Technology. Professor Roy Davies and his colleagues in... view more... (2002-10-31)
