Red Light Optically Improves Mitochondrial Function in Aging Eyes
LONDON, July 8, 2020 — Declining eyesight in humans was shown to improve when subjects looked at a deep red 670-nm light beam for three minutes a day for two weeks, according to a study led by researchers at University College London. The approach, which improves...
Injected Nanoparticles Could Enable Sight Beyond Visible Spectrum
WORCESTER, Mass., Sept. 3, 2019 — No mammalian photoreceptor can effectively detect light that exceeds 700 nm, and mammals are unable to see near-infrared (NIR) light or to project a NIR image to the brain. To enable the detection of longer wavelength light in mammals, scientists at...
Hand-Held Imager Could Broaden Use of AOSLO
DURHAM, N.C., Aug. 27, 2018 — Researchers at Duke University have miniaturized adaptive optics (AO) technology to develop a portable hand-held ophthalmology device that can image individual photoreceptors in the eye at high resolution. The new instrument could allow improved...
Designing Lighting Systems Tuned to Circadian Rhythms
Apr 25, 2017 — There is a lot of interest these days in the physiological effect of light on the human body. Variously referred to as human-centric lighting, biological lighting, or circadian lighting, all reflect the emerging understanding that light can have a...
Natural Optical Fibers Sort Colors in Retina
HAIFA, Israel, July 22, 2014 — The retina has long been known to convert light into electrical signals and initially process visual information, but that’s not all. Researchers from Technion Israel Institute of Technology have demonstrated the role that glial cells inside...
Photonic Crystals Help Fish See in the Murk
LEIPZIG, Germany, June 29, 2012 — The elephantnose fish, thought to be blind, was found to have light-reflecting cups lined with photonic crystals in its retinas that help it navigate in its dark, murky environment. Researchers think this unusual eye structure might inform future...
Light Now in Sight
MUNICH, Jan. 17, 2012 — Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU) chemist Dirk Trauner received a European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grant for a project based on optochemical genetics. The project’s innovative approach can create artificial photoreceptors by...
Reindeer See Wonderful World of UV Light
WILTSHIRE, England, May 27, 2011 — The same ultraviolet light that can cause temporary snow blindness in humans is the very same light that is life-saving for reindeer in the arctic. Humans are able to see light with wavelengths ranging from around 700nm, which corresponds to the...
Camera vs. Eye: Why the Eyes Have It
BERKELEY, Calif., May 5, 2011 — The human eye long ago solved a problem common to both digital and film cameras: how to get good contrast in an image while capturing faint detail. Physiologists described the retina’s tricks for improving contrast and sharpening edges decades...
DNA Lenses Drive Night Vision
MUNICH, April 24, 2009 – Nocturnal mammals have adapted to the challenges of their lifestyle by developing unique distributions of DNA in the sensitive rod photoreceptors of their eyes, with the nucleus of each rod acting as a sort of microlens, an international team...
