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)
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)
£42M is made to measure
Lord Sainsbury announces new investment in measurement technology over three years Advances in measurement technology were today given a £42m boost by the Science Minister, Lord Sainsbury. 'Telemedicine' will allow doctors to make medical judgements based on a television image of a patient. Remote diagnosis via phone or internet link and... view more... (2001-05-01)
'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)
MIT: Computer vision may not be as good as thought
For years, scientists have been trying to teach computers how to see like humans, and recent research has seemed to show computers making progress in recognizing visual objects. A new MIT study, however, cautions that this apparent success may be misleading because the tests being used are inadvertently stacked in favor of computers. view more (2008-01-25)
New technique to detect diabetic retinopathy
The ophthalmology team of the University Clinic of the University of Navarre has published a new technique to detect diabetic retinopathy. This research has been published in the magazine Investigative Ophthamology and Visual Science. The research is based on the Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). This test allows measuring the thickness of eye... view more... (2002-11-26)
Toxoplasmosis found more severe in Brazil compared to Europe
Newborns in Brazil are more susceptible to toxoplasmosis than those in Europe, according to a recent study. Researchers based in Austria, Brazil, Denmark, France, Italy, Poland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom studied the disease's ocular effects in children from birth to four years of age. view more (2008-08-15)
Survey shows poor understanding of Macular Disease among health care professionals
A survey of people suffering from Macular Disease (MD) - the most common cause of new blindness in the over-60s - reveals a high level of dissatisfaction with the UK health care system, particularly in relation to the diagnosis of the condition. The findings of the survey of 1300 members of the Macular Disease Society are published in the British... view more... (2002-06-27)

Prism glasses expand the view for patients with hemianopia
Innovative prism glasses can significantly improve the vision and the daily lives of patients with hemianopia, a condition that blinds half the visual field in both eyes. view more (2008-05-13)
Study discovers secret of Scottish sheep evolution
Researchers from the University of Sheffield, as part of an international team, have discovered the secret of why dark sheep on a remote Scottish Island are mysteriously declining, seemingly contradicting Darwin's evolutionary theory. view more (2008-01-18)
New training technique helps alcoholics in battle with the booze
A new training technique developed in the UK is proving successful in helping excessive drinkers curb their alcohol abuse. Researchers funded by the Economic and Social Research Council have experimentally tested a computer-based training programme which helps abusive drinkers pay less attention to alcohol, feel more in control of their drinking... view more...
