In a time when a worldwide epidemic of myopia has been predicted, research into both its causes and prevention is of particular relevance. It used to be held that time spent staring close-up at screens in poor light was primarily to blame, but modern res

The basic physiology of vision has been understood for the best part of a century, but only in the last twenty years have scientists started to explore a second non-visual pathway by which the different colours we see affects our mind and body.

Scientists have discovered a dramatic link between weight loss following bariatric surgery and improved retina health, suggesting that blindness due to retinal damage may be reversible.
