HSP90: New point of view on melanoma of the eye, at the MUHC
Ocular melanoma is rarely detected before it has grown large enough to impair vision or to metastasize. This makes it a particularly challenging disease to fight, especially since chemotherapy is not very effective. view more (2008-02-20)
Toronto researchers discover novel circulation in human eye, new glaucoma treatment target
Researchers at the University of Toronto, St. Michael's Hospital and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre have discovered a previously unidentified form of circulation within the human eye which may provide important new insights into glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness. view more (2009-10-06)
A drug-dispensing contact lens
Taking eye drops multiple times a day can be difficult for patients to do, and because of blinking and tearing, as little as 1 to 7 percent of the dose is actually absorbed by the eye. view more (2009-07-22)
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)
Stealth particles to target tumors
Stealth nano particles may some day target tumor cells and deliver medication to specific body locations, according to Penn State chemical engineers. view more (2005-09-01)
Organisms found on contact lenses can provide clues to cause of corneal eye infection
Cultures of contact lenses may sometimes identify the organisms involved in cases of corneal eye infection, according to a report in the September issue of Archives of Ophthalmology. view more (2007-09-11)
New technique captures high-res images of full retina
Researchers used a new imaging technique to take high quality color photographs of the clinical stages of ocular inflammation in mice, and the technology could help in the monitoring and treatment of diseases of the eye that may cause blindness. view more (2008-12-02)
New Research could benefit drivers who are sensitive to night-time glare conditions
A new technique to measure the effect of bright light on the human eye could result in safer and more user-friendly lighting conditions. The technique, which records the electrical activity of a major muscle surrounding the eye, opens the way to measuring the discomfort of the eye in conditions of changing light. This could have important... view more... (2001-09-26)
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)
Cholesterol lowering drugs may prevent degenerative eye disease (macular degeneration)
Statins, the drugs used to lower blood cholesterol, may help prevent the degenerative eye disease known as age related maculopathy or macular degeneration, finds research in the British Journal of Ophthalmology. view more (2003-08-14)
UAB Tear Research Focused on Contact Lens Risks, Benefit
Contact lenses are great for sight, but do they have an impact on general eye health? Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) School of Optometry are working to answer that question by analyzing tears. view more (2009-05-07)
Statins may improve circulation in the retina
The cholesterol-lowering medications known as statins may improve circulation in the eye, potentially reducing the risk of certain eye diseases. view more (2006-05-09)
Older whites more likely to have signs of future eye disease than blacks
White individuals older than 65 are more likely than black individuals to have characteristics that indicate they will develop more advanced forms of the eye disease age-related macular degeneration (AMD). view more (2008-02-12)
Melatonin may save eyesight in inflammatory disease
Current research suggests that melatonin therapy may help treat uveitis, a common inflammatory eye disease. The related report by Sande et al., "Therapeutic Effect of Melatonin in Experimental Uveitis," appears in the December issue of The American Journal of Pathology. view more (2008-11-24)
Cell phone use not linked to cancer risk
Long or short-term cell phone use is not associated with increased cancer risk, according to a study in the December 6 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2006-12-06)
The worldwide prevalence of glaucoma is increasing (p 1711)
Early diagnosis of glaucoma is essential to prevent irreversible visual impairment, according to a Seminar in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Glaucoma is a group of disorders that progressively damage the optic nerve in the eye and without treatment can cause visual disability and eventual blindness. Glaucoma affects more than 66 million people... view more... (2004-05-19)
Weightlifting increases pressure within the eye
Weightlifting may cause a temporary increase in pressure within the eye, with higher pressure occurring with breath-holding during a weightlifting exercise. view more (2006-09-12)
Skin cancer diagnosis technique could also help prevent blindness
A new technique to aid early detection of skin cancer could also help fight serious eye diseases such as those caused by diabetes. The technique has been developed at the University of Birmingham with funding from the Swindon-based Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. It involves using an innovative form of image analysis to tell... view more... (2002-11-26)
Artificial sight
An engineering team at the University of Dundee has just secured funding to work with European colleagues on the construction of artificial corneas which will allow all cornea replacements to go ahead without the patient having to wait for a donor. The Euro 2.4m project will help people who suffer from a number of diseases requiring corneal... view more... (2004-06-03)
Computers controlled by the Human Eye
Soon computers and many other household devices will guess the owner`s will by a slightly seen gesture or a frowned brow. This confidence has appeared for good reason: such programs have already being developed. In particular, scientists from the Research Institute of Experimental Physics in Sarov have made their own version. The principles on... view more... (2001-12-25)
