Vitamin A deficiency linked to major intestinal surgery
Major intestinal surgery, including stomach reduction for obesity, may boost the chances of subsequent vitamin A deficiency, suggests a small study published ahead of print in the British Journal of Ophthalmology. view more (2006-06-14)
Case and Cleveland Clinic researchers identify molecule in age-related macular degeneration
A dart-like molecule that adheres to proteins in the eye is the key that turns on the uncontrolled growth of blood vessels, according to researchers at Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Clinic Cole Eye Institute. view more (2006-09-07)
A Stellar Explosion You Could See on Earth!
Astronomers are familiar with seeing amazing things through their telescopes. But nothing prepared them for an incredible explosion detected early Wednesday morning by NASA's Swift satellite. At 2:12 a.m. EDT, Swift detected an explosion from deep space that was so powerful that its afterglow was briefly visible to the naked eye. Even more... view more... (2008-03-24)
Eyes may provide window to future strokes
Looking into our eyes may help doctors predict who is at risk for stroke. A new study found that people with changes in the small blood vessels in their eyes are more likely to later suffer a stroke than people without these signs. view more (2005-10-11)
Using invisibility to increase visibility
Research into the development of invisibility devices has spurred two physicists' thought on the behaviour of light to overcome the seemingly intractable problem of optical singularities which could soon lead to the manufacturing of a perfect cat's eye. view more (2008-12-01)
Researchers discover way to make cells in the eye sensitive to light
Researchers have discovered a way to make light sensitive cells in the eye by switching on a single gene. view more (2005-01-24)
Test allows early detection of vision problems in infants with hemangiomas of eyelids
In children with vascular birthmarks around the eye, even partial blockage of vision can lead to visual loss due to amblyopia. view more (2009-04-01)
Painless 'microneedle' patch may take the sting out of shots
Good news for people fearful of needles and squeamish of shots: Scientists at the 238th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society report the design of a painless patch that may someday render hypodermic needles - as well as annual flu shots - a thing of the past. view more (2009-08-19)
Detergents, eye rinses and other products with an on/off switch
Researchers in Australia have developed a "switchable" detergent with a wide range of potential applications - from a laundry detergent that hardly needs a rinse cycle to a non-irritating eye rinse to increasing the amount of oil that companies can extract from a well. view more (2007-08-22)
No need for children with lazy eye to wear patches all day
Children with amblyopia (commonly known as lazy eye) need only wear an eye patch for three to four hours a day for 12 weeks to improve vision, say researchers in a study published on bmj.com today. view more (2007-09-17)
New view of the eye
Full colour images of the back of the eye are now better than ever thanks to research published today in the Institute of Physics journal Physiological Measurement. The new technique developed by Dr Ayyakkannu Manivannan and colleagues at the University of Aberdeen uses low-power coloured lasers to give a full colour picture that ophthalmologists... view more...

Face recognition: nurture not nature
Reporting in the open-access journal PLoS ONE on August 20, researchers have discovered that our society can influence the way we recognise other people's faces. view more (2008-08-20)
A site for sore eyes: New target for allergies found under the eyelid
Scientists have found a protein in the eye which plays a critical role in how an allergic response develops over a 24-hour period. The University College London (UCL) team hope their discovery will pave the way for new treatments for allergic diseases such as asthma, eczema and hay fever. view more (2005-01-11)
Aston University researchers gain insight into diabetic vision problems
Diabetes is one of the major causes of vision loss and blindness in the UK. Now optometry researchers at Aston University's new £10 million Academy of Life Sciences are to carry out a ground-breaking new study which will lead to a greater understanding of visual problems experienced by diabetics. view more (2004-08-24)
Making Blind Zebrafish See
Scientists in the Conway Institute of Biomolecular & Biomedical Research have restored the sight of blind zebrafish whose eyes failed to develop due to a genetic mutation. The findings, published this week in Developmental Biology, are exciting first steps on a long road to understanding eye diseases in humans. Dr. Breandan Kennedy and his... view more... (2004-07-01)
Stem cell therapy shows promise for rescuing deteriorating vision
For the millions of Americans whose vision is slowly ebbing due to degenerative diseases of the eye, the lowly neural progenitor cell may be riding to the rescue. view more (2007-03-28)
Texas A&M researchers find new mechanism for circadian rhythm
Molecules that may hold the key to new ways to fight cancer and other diseases have been found to play an important role in regulating circadian rhythm, says Liheng Shi, a researcher in Texas A&M's Department of Veterinary Integrative Biosciences. view more (2009-10-21)
The Nose Knows: Two Fixation Points Needed for Face Recognition
Many of us are bad at remembering names but we are very quick to point out that at least we never forget a face. view more (2008-10-21)
Passive smoking almost doubles risk of degenerative eye disease
Passive smoking almost doubles the risk of the progressively degenerative eye disease, age related macular degeneration, shows research in the British Journal of Ophthalmology. view more (2005-12-20)
Insight into our sight: A new view on the evolution of the eye lens
The critical component in focusing is the eye lens, and the physical properties that underlie the transparency of the lens, as well as its ability to precisely refract light, arise from the high concentrations of special proteins called crystallins found in lens cells. view more (2005-09-23)
