An eye movement study led by a New York Institute of Technology psychology researcher suggests that techniques used in a Baroque-era painting could help today’s marketers catch the attention of modern consumers.
As people prepare to thrill at the phenomenon of the eclipse today, Lauren Lusardi, OD, FAAO, an optometrist with Atlantic Health System in New Jersey, breaks down how the event makes us susceptible to eye damage and useful tips on how to protect yourself.
The April 8 solar eclipse—a spectacular show in the sky when the moon will pass in front of the sun—is almost here. University of Miami ophthalmologists explain how to view it safely.
The Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins Medicine has received two awards totaling more than $20 million from the National Eye Institute at the National Institutes of Health, both of which will be used for a six-year clinical trial investigating a potential treatment for the most common inherited retinal disease, retinitis pigmentosa.
It’s a celestial anomaly that happens only once in a blue moon. A Penn State Health expert talks about the safest ways for you to witness the solar eclipse on Monday, April 8.
Findings from a National Eye Institute-supported study show for the first time that when babies look at photos of unfamiliar everyday scenes, such as an office or a lab, they tend to fixate on the same regions where adults find meaning. This inclination to home in on what’s interesting or meaningful grows more pronounced as babies age. The findings, published in Infancy, provide a more nuanced understanding of visual development, which may lead to earlier detection of brain-based causes of vision problems, such as cerebral/cortical visual impairment.
National Eye Institute researchers studying human retinas discovered 87 target genes where a mix of environmental factors likely influence one’s risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss in people ages 65 and older.
Researchers have used advanced sequencing technology to determine how the mix of microbes present in patients with healthy eyes differs from the mix found in patients with dry eye.
Leaders of organizations that fund vision research convene in Washington, D.C. to increase collaboration and maximize the impact of research funding for sight-threatening diseases.
The Shaffer Prize recognizes a researcher whose project best exemplifies the pursuit of innovative ideas in the quest to better understand and cure glaucoma.
