Researchers Find Eye Movement Can Affect Problem-solving, Cognition
A pair of Beckman Institute researchers has discovered that by directing the eye movements of test subjects they were able to affect the participants' ability to solve a problem, demonstrating that eye movement is not just a function of cognition but can actually affect our cognitive processes. view more (2007-09-25)

Study Highlights Need For UK Childhood Screening For Amblyopia (pp 597, 621)
Authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how the risk of visual loss in the normal eye for individuals with one lazy eye (amblyopia) is greater than previously thought, strengthening the need for effective screening programmes to detect amblyopia in early childhood. Monocular amblyopia occurs in at least 1% of individuals... view more... (2002-08-21)
New Drugs Prevent Scarring After Glaucoma Eye Surgery
Highly innovative new drugs that can prevent scarring in the eye after glaucoma surgery have been discovered by a London-based team of scientists, who report today in the journal Nature Biotechnology.* By targeting more than one aspect of the scarring process at the same time, the team has been able to use the drugs safely and successfully in... view more...

Holograms make for better vision tests
A new paper published in the July 1 issue of OSA's Optics Letters shows that researchers in Australia have created a new one-step test that uses holograms to diagnose the astigmatic error of the human eye, a key measurement in determining the appropriate prescriptions for eye glasses in patients. view more (2007-07-09)
The danger of blindness after ophthalmic surgery
Ophthalmologists inject gas into the eye mainly during the surgical treatment of retinal hemorrhages or injuries. The purpose of the gas is to help press the detached retina to the wall of the eye. view more (2008-02-26)
Transplant rejection drug holds promise for inflammatory eye disease

Sight for sore eyes
An inventive breakthrough from the Applied Optics Group at the University of Kent at Canterbury (UKC) is set to revolutionise current methods of eye examinations. Professor David Jackson, Dr Adrian Podoleanu and Dr John Rogers, who gained his doctorate at Kent, have developed an instrument known as an Optical Dual Channel Tomograph. The instrument... view more... (2002-03-13)
Immune cells known as macrophages linked to growth of lymph vessels in eyes, scientists discover
Scientists at Schepens Eye Research Institute have discovered that a particular immune cell contributes to the growth of new lymph vessels, which aid in healing. This cell, known as a macrophage, is called in by the body during the wound healing process. view more (2005-09-02)
Barrow scientists solve 200-year-old scientific debate involving visual illusions
Neuroscientists at Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center have discovered a direct link between eye motions and the perception of illusory motion that solves a 200-year-old debate. view more (2008-11-21)
New Device could revolutionise eye disease diagnosis-creating eye maps on the high street
A new digital ophthalmoscope, devised by a research team led by the University of Warwick can provide both doctors and high street optometrists with a hand held eye disease diagnosis device equal to the power of bulky hospital based eye diagnosis cameras. It will also give optometrists the ability to email detailed eye maps of patients to... view more... (2007-03-06)
Glaucoma report points to increased costs
A new Centre for Eye Research Australia/ Access Economics report shows the cost of glaucoma will more than double in the next two decades. view more (2008-06-04)
Early treatment of children with bilateral amblyopia essential, according to multisite study
When a child is farsighted or has astigmatism or has both conditions in both eyes, bilateral amblyopia may develop. In contrast to single-eye amblyopia or "lazy eye," where one eye presents an unclear image to the brain, bilateral amblyopia affects both eyes and is less common. view more (2007-10-02)
First human trial of antibacterial contact lens

Bowel cancer sufferers at risk of developing other unrelated cancers faster than expected
Bowel cancer sufferers are at increased risk of developing other completely different cancers at a higher rate than would be expected, finds a study in Gut. And this excludes recurrence of, or spread (metastasis) from, the original tumour. view more (2002-04-09)
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)
St. Jude defines eye cancer gene's role in retinal development
A genetic discovery led by scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital helps answer a long-standing mystery about the eyes of vertebrates, and may translate into a deeper understanding of how genes coordinate the complex process of eye formation and how a rare pediatric eye cancer progresses. view more (2008-01-17)
