University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston researchers have discovered that a form of vitamin B1 could become a new and effective treatment for one of the world's leading causes of blindness. View More (2009-04-24)
Working memory retains visual details despite distractions
The ability to retain memory about the details of a natural scene is unaffected by the distraction of another activity and this information is retained in "working memory". View More (2006-01-20)
Many older Americans not treated for glaucoma
Almost one-third of older Americans diagnosed with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) are not treated medically or surgically for the condition according to a study to be presented at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) Annual Meeting in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Research provides insight into new drug resistance in hospital microbes
Hospitals struggle to prevent the infections that complicate treatment for cancer, joint replacement, heart surgery and other conditions. View More (2011-07-14)
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)
Transplanted photoreceptor precursor cells restore visual function in mice with retinal degeneration
Scientists have successfully transplanted light-sensing cells called photoreceptors directly into the eyes of mice and restored their visual function. View More (2006-11-09)
Not just your imagination: The brain perceives optical illusions as real motion
Ever get a little motion sick from an illusion graphic designed to look like it's moving? A new study suggests that these illusions do more than trick the eye; they may also convince the brain that the graphic is actually moving. View More (2009-02-03)
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)
LASIK works well, according to long-term study of highly myopic patients
Laser surgery to correct vision problems has been in use since the early 1990s. Photorefractive Keratotomy (PRK) is typically used to correct low to moderate myopia, while laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is preferred for high myopia corrections. View More (2007-12-28)
University of Kentucky researcher identifies key to macular degeneration progression
Dr. Jayakrishna Ambati UK HealthCare physician and Associate Professor and Vice Chair of the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, announced a discovery by his research team that will impact how physicians and patients approach treatment for macular degeneration. View More (2006-01-31)
British heroin substitute may be associated with wide-ranging sight problems
Children born to mothers prescribed the heroin substitute methadone during pregnancy may be at risk of wide-ranging sight problems, indicates a small study published ahead of print in the British Journal of Ophthalmology. View More (2010-04-22)
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)
RETINAL BLOOD-VESSEL DAMAGE LINKED TO INCREASED STROKE RISK (p 1134)
Retinal photography—used to detect abnormalities in blood vessels at the back of the eye—could help identify people who are at an increased risk of stroke, suggest authors of a study in this week’s issue of THE LANCET. Damage to the small blood vessels in the retina (retinal microvascular abnormalities) arises from high blood pressure and other vascular processes. Tien Yin Wong... View More (2001-10-03)
Can we 'learn to see?': Study shows perception of invisible stimuli improves with training
Although we assume we can see everything in our field of vision, the brain actually picks and chooses the stimuli that come into our consciousness. View More (2009-10-22)
Use of amniotic membrane may cause complications in strabismus surgery
Postoperative adhesions are a major complication in strabismus surgery. Amniotic membrane has been used in the hopes of preventing these adhesions by forming a biological barrier during healing. View More (2011-01-04)
Possible new heritable marker for retinoblastoma
Retinoblastoma is a pediatric eye cancer initiated by the loss or mutation of both copies of the retinoblastoma gene. Current evidence suggests that additional genetic alterations are required for retinoblastoma to become fully malignant. View More (2010-01-27)
Kids with blocked tear ducts at higher risk for 'lazy eye'
Amblyopia, sometimes referred to as "lazy eye," is a cause of poor vision in children. It occurs in about 1.6% to 3.6% of the general population. View More (2011-10-13)
Myelin suppresses plasticity in the mature brain
Yale School of Medicine researchers report in Science this week genetic evidence for the hypothesis that myelination, or formation of a protective sheath around a nerve fiber, consolidates neural circuitry by suppressing plasticity in the mature brain. View More (2005-09-30)
Stroke incidence higher among patients with certain type of retinal vascular disease
Patients with a disease known as retinal vein occlusion (RVO) have a significantly higher incidence of stroke when compared with persons who do not have RVO. View More (2011-03-15)
Promising protein may prevent eye damage in premature babies
A protein long thought to be one of the body's supporting players has quietly been taking a lead role in healthy eyesight, a discovery that could rapidly lead to treatments for babies born before their eyes are finished growing, University of Florida and Harvard Medical School researchers have found.
