Where low-level light therapies stand as dry eye treatments and myopia management
A lecture on red light therapy, also known as low-level light therapy or photobiomodulation therapy. The lecture delved into the intricate mechanisms of low-level light therapy, examining its cellular interactions and diverse applications in eye care.
Vision therapy reverses concussion-related double and blurred vision, study finds
Nearly half of adolescents and young adults with lingering symptoms of concussion suffer from eye coordination disorders that cause double and blurred vision, headaches and difficulties concentrating.
With a tiny eye implant and special glasses, some legally blind patients can read again
People with a leading cause of blindness were able to read again thanks to a tiny wireless chip implanted in the back of the eye and specialized augmented glasses, according to study results published Monday in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Study evaluates 2 cycloplegic agents for diagnosing premyopia in preschool children
A comparison of 2 cycloplegic agents, atropine and cyclopentolate, in preschool children for cycloplegia found that atropine was associated with less myopic refraction compared with cyclopentolate and may potentially avoid the overestimation of premyopia prevalence.
A soft micron accuracy robot design and clinical validation for retinal surgery
Retinal surgery is one of the most delicate and complex operations, which is close to or even beyond the physiological limitation of the human hand. Robots have demonstrated the ability to filter hand tremors and motion scaling which has a promising output in microsurgery. Here, we present a novel soft micron accuracy robot (SMAR) for retinal surgery and achieve a more precise and safer operation.
