Scientists have invested decades in piecing together how our vision is so good at recognizing what’s familiar. A new study overcomes an apparent discrepancy in…
Consuming grapes improved macular pigment accumulation and downregulated harmful biomarkers. In a recent randomized, controlled human study, consuming grapes for 16 weeks improved key markers…
Since determining what we observe as new or familiar is essential for prioritizing our attention, neuroscientists have dedicated years to understanding why our brains excel…
In a study involving 1.7 million elderly Americans, individuals residing in counties with an average temperature exceeding 60 °F faced a significantly increased risk of…
According to a recent Cochrane review, eyeglasses promoted to block blue light likely have no impact on eye strain from computer usage or on sleep…
The development of robotic avatars could benefit from an improvement in how computers detect objects in low-resolution images. A team at RIKEN has improved computer…
Individuals who performed poorly on vision tests, even while using their glasses or contact lenses, were also found to have concerning scores on cognitive tests….
Visual range is a critical asset for top athletes in almost any sport. Nutrition is an important part of any top athlete’s training program. And…
NIH-funded trial underscores the need for more research to head off high myopia. A two-year randomized controlled trial conducted by the Pediatric Eye Disease Investigator…
Research from the University of Exeter indicates that visual illusions result from our eyes and brain’s neural limitations rather than complex mental processes. The study’s…
Clinical trial suggests low-dose atropine is an effective myopia treatment. The results of a new clinical trial suggest that the first drug therapy to slow…
Instrumentation recreates properties of the myopic eye to test lenses that prevent visual decline. Scientists have developed new instruments to evaluate specialized eyeglass lenses that…
Research indicates that certain neural cell circuits responsible for color vision are exclusive to humans. Research in the field of color vision has uncovered new…
Following cataract removal, some of the brain’s visual pathways seem to be more malleable than previously thought. MIT researchers have shown that children over 7…
“Dormant” cone photoreceptors continue to drive retinal activity for vision. New University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) research in mice suggests that “dormant” cone photoreceptors…
A recent study in mice has found that a history of obesity resulting from a high-fat diet can induce lasting changes in innate immunity that…
Extremely rare gene variants point to a potential cause of age-related macular degeneration. A study from the National Eye Institute (NEI) identified rare genetic variants…
