Photocatalyst: Using Light to Clean Up Forever Chemicals
Artificial intelligence is more readily available than ever before to improve patient care and business operations in optometry.
A Brain Fingerprint: Study Uncovers Unique Brain Plasticity in People Born Blind
Neuroscientists reveal that the part of the brain that receives and processes visual information in sighted people develops a unique connectivity pattern in people born blind. They say this pattern in the primary visual cortex is unique to each person -- akin to a fingerprint.
Simplified Diagnosis of Rare Eye Diseases
Researchers have drafted a review on how FAF can facilitate the diagnosis and monitoring of posterior uveitis and panuveitis.
Biomarkers Reveal How Patients with Glaucoma May Respond to Treatment
Markers in the blood that predict whether glaucoma patients are at higher risk of continued loss of vision following conventional treatment have been identified by researchers.

Scientists Identify New Treatment Target for Leading Cause of Blindness
Scientists report that a gene could be key to understanding why many people don't benefit from the most used therapy for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of blindness.
Breakthrough Paves the Way For Next Generation of Vision Implants
A group of researchers have created an exceptionally small implant, with electrodes the size of a single neuron that can also remain intact in the body over time.
