4. Fish eyes could hold clue to repairing damaged retinas in humans
   07-31-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A special type of cell found in the eye has been found to be very important in regenerating the retina in zebrafish and restoring vision even after extensive damage. Now, a UK team of scientists believe they may be able to use these cells -- known as Müller glial cells -- to regenerate damaged retina in humans, according to a study published this month in the journal Stem Cells.

5. Early treatment of children with bilateral amblyopia essential, according to multisite study
   10-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
   When a child is farsighted or has astigmatism or has both conditions in both eyes, bilateral amblyopia may develop. In contrast to single-eye amblyopia or "lazy eye," bilateral amblyopia affects both eyes and is less common. In an article published in the October issue of the American Journal of Ophthalmology, researchers report that this condition can be successfully treated with corrective lenses, particularly when diagnosed and treated early. Left untreated, bilateral amblyopia may result in permanent visual disability.

9. Transplanted photoreceptor precursor cells restore visual function in mice with retinal degeneration
   11-08-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Scientists have successfully transplanted light-sensing cells called photoreceptors directly into the eyes of mice and restored their visual function. The achievement is based on a novel technology in which the cells are introduced at a particular stage in their development. The experiment has potential implications for human eye diseases that dim the sight of millions of people.

10. The eyes have it: What do we see when we look at ads?
    08-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
    How do consumers look at advertisements? Most marketing textbooks advance the theory that looking at ads is a predominantly "dumb process," driven by visual stimuli such as the size of the ad or the color of the text. However, new research by researchers from the Netherlands and the University of Michigan uses eye-tracking software to reveal that it may be our goals -- the tasks we have in mind -- that drive what we pay attention to, even during a few seconds of ad exposure.
