Bacterium present in eyes with 'wet' age-related macular degeneration
Researchers at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary (MEEI) have found that Chlamydia pneumoniae, a bacterium linked to heart disease and capable of causing chronic inflammation, was present in the diseased eye tissue of five out of nine people with neovascular, or "wet," age-related macular degeneration (AMD). view more (2005-11-08)

Inside the Ozone Layer
A new atmospheric model is able to quantify man-made versus naturally occurring damage to the stratosphere with an eye toward repairing the diminishing ozone layer that is located within the stratosphere. view more (2006-02-24)
Diabetes complications rooted in faulty cell repair
University of Florida researchers say primitive cells that act like molecular maintenance men-traveling throughout the body to repair damaged blood vessels-become too rigid to move in patients with diabetes, fueling the disease's vascular complications. view more (2006-01-26)
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)
NASA sees into the eye of a monster storm on Saturn
NASA's Cassini spacecraft has seen something never before seen on another planet - a hurricane-like storm at Saturn's south pole with a well-developed eye, ringed by towering clouds. view more (2006-11-10)
Erotic images prove useful in coaxing out unconscious brain activity
When your eyes are presented with erotic images in a way that keeps you from becoming aware of them, your brain can still detect and respond to the images according to your gender and sexual orientation. view more (2006-10-27)
Scientists uncover why picture perception works

Study says eyes evolved for X-Ray vision
The advantage of using two eyes to see the world around us has long been associated solely with our capacity to see in 3-D. Now, a new study from a scientist at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has uncovered a truly eye-opening advantage to binocular vision: our ability to see through things. view more (2008-08-29)
Does missing gene point to nocturnal existence for early mammals?
A gene that makes cells in the eye receptive to light is missing in humans, researchers have discovered. view more (2006-10-13)
Researchers show beneficial role of risk calculator in fighting progression of glaucoma
A new glaucoma risk calculator, which estimates a patient's risk of converting from high eye pressure, or ocular hypertension, to glaucoma, will help physicians determine whether to initiate therapy for patients. view more (2005-10-17)
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)
Researchers discover mechanism that may enable stem cell-based treatment for eye disorders
In discovering a protein that helps organize the development of the retina, UC Irvine researchers have found a new molecular mechanism that may allow for stem cell-based therapies to treat eye disorders such as retinal degeneration. view more (2005-06-24)

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)
Why our shifty eyes don't drive us crazy
Our eyes are constantly making saccades, or little jumps. Yet the world appears to us as a smooth whole. Somehow, the brain's visual system "knows" where the eyes are about to move and is able to adjust for that movement. view more (2006-11-09)
Loss of central vision with age may be linked to quality of dietary carbohydrates
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of vision loss in older adults and a person's risk may partly depend upon diet. view more (2006-06-07)
Spookfish uses mirrors for eyes
