HOUSTON, Feb. 26 -- A new optics technology is providing scientists with real-time microscopic images of the living retina, which may allow doctors to focus on earlier diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as diabetes and glaucoma. University of Houston researchers are using a technology called adaptive optics to peer inside the eyes of human subjects and -- for the first time -- to get clear, sharp images of features such as blood flow in the retina. Until now, clear images of the living retina were not possible because the eye's own structure interferes with the imaging process....Read full article
