A multicenter study found that patients with irregular corneas achieved significant visual acuity improvements after wearing a four-zone scleral lens for three months. The lenses showed encouraging fitting efficiency and patient comfort, with minimal adverse events reported.
A new treatment for corneal scarring is being developed by University of Houston optometry researcher Tarsis G. Ferreira. The treatment uses a natural protein called decorin to block scarring and unwanted blood vessel growth, offering hope for people with injured corneas.
Researchers have developed a highly sensitive diamond quantum magnetometer that can achieve practical ambient condition magnetoencephalography. The novel magnetometer uses a single crystalline diamond to detect magnetic fields, achieving record sensitivities of up to 9.4 pT Hz-1/2 in the frequency range of 5 to 100 Hz.
The researchers successfully created a stable hybrid laser by 3D printing micro-optics onto fibers, reducing the size and cost of traditional lasers. The new design enables high-power laser sources with compactness and robustness, opening up opportunities for applications such as autonomous vehicles, medical procedures, and lithography.
Scientists developed computational eye models to help patients and surgeons select ideal intraocular lenses and predict visual outcomes. The technology uses anatomical information of the patient's eye to provide guidance on expected optical quality post-operatively.
Researchers at the University of Manchester's National Graphene Institute discover new physics in ancient graphite, finding a 2.5D Hofstadter’s butterfly effect that modifies both surface and bulk states.
Researchers found various adaptations in the structure and composition of cuticle that enable it to become an excellent optical element. The team discovered changes in local composition, architecture, and elemental composition that contribute to its optical properties.
