Elon Musk’s ambitious eye implants that “ultimately may exceed normal human vision” are unlikely to reach this lofty benchmark, according to scientists who have used ‘virtual patients’ to expose the limitations of this innovative technology. Because ev… Continue reading Elon Musk’s superhuman vision system looks terrible in simulations
Plus, Raspberry Pi will list as an IPO on the London Stock Exchange, a boon for the market. Continue reading Raspberry Pi Embraces AI With Hailo Collaboration
CRISPR gene-editing has improved the vision of patients with an inherited form of blindness, according to results of a Phase 1/2 clinical trial. The results not only give new hope to patients with the condition, but show that CRISPR could be put to use… Continue reading CRISPR restores some vision to blind patients in clinical trial
Blinking keeps our eyes moist – but we actually blink way more often than we need to if that was the only reason. Scientists at the University of Rochester have now found that the involuntary action plays a bigger role than we thought, helping us proce… Continue reading The surprising reason we blink so much more than we need to
Imagine waking up one morning and finding that every face you see is distorted into demonic proportions, with pointy ears, narrow eyes and a terrifying grin. That’s a reality for some patients with a rare condition called prosopometamorphopsia (PMO), a… Continue reading New images show ‘demonic’ face distortions from rare condition
Scientists have developed a new type of lens that creates multiple focal points, which could make for glasses or contacts that provide a clearer view over a range of distances. The secret? Making the lens a spiral shape.Continue ReadingCategory: Techno… Continue reading Glasses with spiral lenses could help you see clearer, farther
The lenses in our eyes stiffen as we age, making it harder to switch focus between different distances. But autofocus systems are now getting so compact and efficient that they fit in a set of glasses – provided you don’t mind looking a bit dorky.Conti… Continue reading Vixion’s autofocus eyeglasses: Relax your eye muscles all day
Inspired by bats’ use of echolocation, researchers have developed smart glasses that transform visual information into unique sound representations that enhance the ability of blind and vision-impaired people to navigate their surroundings. The technol… Continue reading Bat-inspired glasses help the blind & vision-impaired ‘see’ using sound
In fast-paced sports such as tennis, keeping your eye on the ball – and on your opponent – is essential to success. The FalconFrames wearable was designed with that fact in mind, as it’s claimed to help boost its user’s neuro-visual skills.Continue Rea… Continue reading Performance-building FalconFrames keep an eye on athletes’ eyes
In a phase 1 clinical trial, scientists have demonstrated that corneal transplants, grown from a patient’s own stem cells, can successfully restore some vision after an eye injury.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Eye, Eye surgery, Transp… Continue reading Stem cells restore vision to patients with eye injuries in clinical trial
