Certain children who wear a special kind of no-line bifocal lenses show signs of slower progression of myopia than those who wear more conventional lenses according to a new study published in the February 2007 issue of Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science (IOVS).
A computer-based method for evaluating the eye's ability to distinguish object details and shape in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) could provide a more accurate way to assess the effectiveness of eye surgery or other interventions, according to a Canadian study published in the October issue of ARVO's Investigative Ophthalmology and Vision Science.
Visual field loss (specifically peripheral visual fields) is the primary vision component that increases the risk of falls, according to a study published this month in Investigative Ophthalmology and Vision Science. The authors say that people with visual field loss may benefit from mobility training to navigate the environment more safely.
Why is it difficult to spot even familiar faces in a crowd? A recent study in the Journal of Vision reveals how our brains filter out visual overload "鈥� and could help scientists develop an artificial visual system that approaches the sophistication of human visual perception.
If you see something, it's because you're looking at it, right? A recently published study in ARVO's Journal of Vision examined this question and established that while people do tend to notice objects within their gaze, it is the assumptions they make about their environment that affects their perceptions. People are biased towards believing that they were looking directly at what they have seen.
For the first time, a study combines measurements of abnormalities in the eye with models for assessing how well an individual can see, meaning it may be possible to program a machine to automatically produce prescriptions for corrective lenses.
A study recently published in ARVO's online Journal of Vision may inform the next generation of in-car driving assistance systems. New research finds that when drivers fix their gaze on specific targets placed strategically along a curve, their steering is smoother and more stable than it is in normal conditions.
With 30 million drivers in the US aged 65 and over, we count on older Americans to recognize when they can no longer drive safely and decide that it's time to stay off the road. A new study finds that a decrease in vision function is a key factor in bringing about this decision.
Ever get a little motion sick from an illusion graphic designed to look like it's moving? A new study suggests that these illusions do more than trick the eye; they may also convince the brain that the graphic is actually moving.
Although scientists know progressive degeneration of retinal ganglion cells and their axons is the primary cause of glaucoma, researchers have yet to identify a way to stop or prevent the degeneration. The challenge to find a solution brought together a panel of 39 scientists for the Fourth Annual ARVO/Pfizer Ophthalmics Research Institute Conference.
