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).
The ARVO Foundation for Eye Research, a supporting non-profit of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), today announced the recipients of the 2007 ARVO/Alcon Early Career Clinician-Scientist Research Awards. The awards will be presented on Sunday, May 6, during the ARVO/Alcon Keynote Session at the 2007 ARVO Annual Meeting in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
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 "” and could help scientists develop an artificial visual system that approaches the sophistication of human visual perception.
Scientists and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are discussing how new technologies in ophthalmology, which make it possible to collect better data about experimental treatments, might affect FDA clinical trials requirements.
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.
Todd Margolis, MD, PhD (University of California-San Francisco) is the new president of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, taking over from Martine Jager, MD, PhD (Leiden University, The Netherlands), whose one-year term ended in April. Donald Hood, PhD (Columbia University) and Barry Winkler, PhD (Oakland University) will serve as vice presidents. Nicholas Delamere, PhD (University of Arizona) has been named president-elect; he will serve the 2009-2010 term. Paul Sternberg, MD (Vanderbilt Eye Institute) is vice-president elect for that term.
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.
