Glasses embedded with a telescope promise to make it easier for people with impaired vision to drive and do other activities requiring sharper distance vision.

Mammals have two types of light-sensitive detectors in the retina. Known as rod and cone cells, they are both necessary to picture their environment. However, researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have found that eliminating a third sensor — cells expressing a photopigment called melanopsin that measures the intensity of incoming light —makes the circadian clock blind to light, yet leaves normal vision intact.

The Group Health Cooperative eye care center will close next month, but the doctors will still see their patients.

The Fred Hollows Foundation has issued a warning that people around the world are in greater danger of losing their vision because of climate change.

A call for action from World Glaucoma Association WGA and World Glaucoma Patient Association WGPA was not taken lightly by BiCOM Inc., a global distributor of Diaton tonometer (non-invasive tonometry through eyelid). BiCOM has advised and guided all of its distributors located in over 30 countries in North and South America, Europe, Asia and Middle East - to participate on March 6th World Glaucoma Day by either Screening or Awareness campaigns.

According to NPR report blind Irishman's eye vision is restored by a miracle operation called Osteo-Odonto-Keratoprosthesis and developed in Italy in 1960s.

The new £21M home of Wales’ only provider of academic optometry and vision sciences, representing the largest single investment in eye care anywhere in the UK, was unveiled by the First Minister Rhodri Morgan AM.

Movie characters from the Terminator to the Bionic Woman use bionic eyes to zoom in on far-off scenes, have useful facts pop into their field of view, or create virtual crosshairs. Off the screen, virtual displays have been proposed for more practical purposes - visual aids to help vision-impaired people, holographic driving control panels and even as a way to surf the Web on the go.

Scientists at Schepens Eye Research Institute have found that people with low vision can improve their ability to see and enjoy television with a new technique that allows them to enhance the contrast of images of people and objects of interest on their digital televisions.

Vase or face? When presented with the well known optical illusion in which we see either a vase or the faces of two people, what we observe depends on the patterns of neural activity going on in our brains.

A team of researchers from the University of Granada, in collaboration with the University of Murcia, has developed a visual aid device which significantly improves the vision of sight impaired patients; especially those suffering from pathologies with a slow progression that can eventually lead to blindness (such as Macular Degeneration, cataracts, etc.).

International research co-led by professor Alejandro Maiche, of the Department of Basic, Evolutionary and Educational Psychology at the UAB, has put forward the hypothesis that the brain responds to the possibility that two objects might collide, in a different way to how it would react to two objects in movement with divergent trajectories.
