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...

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)
LSUHSC research shows fish oil protects against diseases like Parkinson's
Dr. Nicolas Bazan, Director of the Neuroscience Center of Excellence, Boyd Professor, and Ernest C. and Yvette C. Villere Chair of Retinal Degenerative Diseases Research at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans, will present new research findings showing that an omega three fatty acid in the diet protects brain cells by preventing the misfolding... view more...

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)
Eye exercises help patients work out vision problems, UH optometrist says
You've probably been there. In a doctor's office, being advised to do what you dread - exercise. You get that feeling in your gut, acknowledging that, indeed, you should exercise but probably won't. Now imagine that the doctor is your optometrist. view more (2009-04-01)
Tracking the spread of cancer cells - Photon02
Not much is known about how clustered cancer cells move, but it is important to understand how individual cancer cells break off from a cluster and spread throughout the human body. A research collaboration between the University of Wales College of Medicine and Kingston University * has lead to the development of a computational imaging technique... view more... (2002-08-28)
Physicists Find that Size Matters When Initiating an Object's Movement Through Grains
A team of Penn State physicists has discovered that the size of grains, such as sand grains, under which an object is buried is important in determining the force required to begin raising the object. view more (2008-09-29)
Smoking related to long-term risk and progression of age-related eye disease
Smokers appear to have an increased long-term risk and greater progression of the eye disease age-related macular degeneration. view more (2008-01-15)
Repair not destruction: A new approach to treating retinopathy
Many diseases of the eye (such as retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and diabetic retinopathy) that result in loss of vision are the result of the growth of abnormal blood vessels that leak and bleed. view more (2006-11-17)
Scientists find that individuals in vegetative states can learn
Scientists have found that some individuals in the vegetative and minimally conscious states, despite lacking the means of reporting awareness themselves, can learn and thereby demonstrate at least a partial consciousness. view more (2009-09-21)
Scientists Discover How Fish Evolved To Float At Different Sea Depths
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have discovered how fish have evolved over the last 400 million years to stay motionless at different water depths. view more (2005-03-18)
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)
