New 'implanted contacts' designed to fix nearsightedness
UT Southwestern Medical Center ophthalmologists will be the first in the area to insert a new type of implanted lens to fix nearsightedness. view more (2006-02-28)
Dual-focus lenses cut thick metal fastest
V&S Scientific, the UK company that licenses the technology from the Force Institute in Denmark, says that demand for the dual focus lenses is beyond expectation, even though they cost much more than conventional optics for laser cutting. The company exceeded its 1999 sales projections for the lenses by the Spring, reports the July issue of Opto... view more... (1999-06-30)
Contact lens solutions may not kill off harmful eye bugs
Contact lens solutions may not kill off harmful eye bugs, reports a study in the British Journal of Ophthalmology. view more (2002-01-25)
Looking into the future
A CHARITY for the blind has awarded over £17,000 to help the University of Bradford expand a research programme into ageing. Dr Barbara Pierscionek, of Biomedical Sciences, is currently investigating whether the structure of a person~s lens may give an indication of an individual~s mortality. Barbara says there are indications to suggest... view more... (2000-12-19)
Contact lens wearers in southern England at nine times the risk of serious eye infection
Contact lens wearers living in southern England are at nine times the risk of developing serious eye infection, finds research in the British Journal of Ophthalmology. Hard water could be to blame, suggest the authors. The research team examined feedback from the British Ophthalmic Surveillance Unit on new cases of acanthamoeba keratitis reported... view more...

Study documents outbreak of fungal eye infections among contact lens wearers in Singapore
Researchers in Singapore have reported an outbreak of Fusarium keratitis (a fungal infection of the cornea) associated with soft contact lens wear and linked with use of certain contact lens cleaning solutions. view more (2006-06-28)
Contact lenses are home to pathogenic amoebae
Contact lenses increase the risk of infection with pathogenic protozoa that can cause blindness. view more (2008-10-21)
New evidence that popular dietary supplement may help prevent, treat cataracts
Researchers are reporting evidence from tissue culture experiments that the popular dietary supplement carnosine may help to prevent and treat cataracts, a clouding of the lens of the eye that is a leading cause of vision loss worldwide. view more (2009-07-16)
Self-moisturizing contact lenses, naturally
Even contact lenses are joining the trend to go green. view more (2008-07-09)
Low cholesterol cues cataract development
Cataracts are a leading cause of blindness worldwide. Using a rat model of cataract formation, Masayuki Mori and researchers at Shinshu University Graduate School of Medicine in Japan have now found a link between cataracts and cholesterol. view more (2006-01-27)
Study shows how disruption of spectrin-actin network causes lens cells in the eye to lose shape
A network of proteins underlying the plasma membrane keeps epithelial cells in shape and maintains their orderly hexagonal packing in the mouse lens, say Nowak et al. view more (2009-09-14)
First human trial of antibacterial contact lens
Biotechnology company Biosignal Ltd and the Institute for Eye Research have received ethics approval for the first human clinical trial of an antibacterial extended-wear contact lens. view more (2006-06-29)
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)
Report issued on outbreak of serious eye infection linked with use of certain contact lens solution
Researchers have additional information concerning the recent outbreak of the corneal infection Fusarium keratitis, which was associated with use of a specific contact lens solution. view more (2006-08-23)
Physics provides new insights on cataract formation
Using the tools and techniques of soft condensed matter physics, a research team in Switzerland has demonstrated that a finely tuned balance of attractions between proteins keeps the lens of the eye transparent, and that even a small change in this balance can cause proteins to aggregate and de-mix. view more (2007-11-12)
New cataract gene discovered
The international team of researchers was able to identify the location and defect in the coding region of the gene through analysis of genetic material (DNA) from members of a large Swiss family, the majority of whom suffered from autosomal dominant juvenile cataract. view more (2008-02-15)
Research warns against sleeping in contact lenses
Sleeping in contact lenses can lead to an increased risk of severe eye infection, new research suggests. But new generation contact lenses, the investigation reveals, perform better in this regard than their predecessors. view more (2005-03-21)
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)
Case Western Reserve and Penn State investigators inhibit corneal inflammation
Researchers from the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and Penn State Hershey College of Medicine identified a novel therapeutic that reduces sterile inflammation within the cornea. view more (2008-06-12)
Can you see me now? Flexible photodetectors could help sharpen photos
Distorted cell-phone photos and big, clunky telephoto lenses could be things of the past. University of Wisconsin-Madison Electrical and Computer Engineering Associate Professor Zhenqiang (Jack) Ma and colleagues have developed a flexible light-sensitive material that could revolutionize photography and other imaging technologies. view more (2009-01-14)
