Sleep deprivation is so common and pervasive these days that it’s now considered a public health epidemic, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Researchers now have an answer: The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society gathered a panel of 15 e…

"The only word blind people are taught is... you can't... you can't...you can't. Even my father was very over protective but I had it in me that I must walk alone, travel alone...live by myself ...and now I want to empower others." says Tiffany.

Cataracts Could be Treated with Eye Drops, study says

An eye drop tested on dogs suggests that cataracts, the most common cause of blindness in humans which accounts for half of blindness cases worldwide, could one day be cured without surgery, a study has said.

It was reported in Nature that a naturally-occurring molecule called lanosterol, administered with an eye dropper, shrank canine cataracts.

Currently the only treatment for cataracts is surgery, which treats the condition by replacing the lens. As populations age the number of people needing the operation is set to double in the next 20 years.

It was reported that “the chain of research leading to the potential cure began with two children — patients of lead researcher Kang Zhang of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, China — from families beset with a congenital, or inherited, form of the condition.

“Dr Zhang and colleagues discovered that his patients shared a mutation in a gene critical for producing lanosterol, which the researchers suspected might impede cataract-forming proteins from clumping in normal eyes.”

In the first set of lab experiments on cells it was reported that lanosterol helped ward off the proteins. Then, in subsequent tests, dogs with naturally-occurring cataracts received eye drops containing the molecule.

After six weeks of treatment, the researchers reported that the size and characteristic cloudiness of the cataracts had decreased.

The researchers concluded that the "study identifies lanosterol as a key molecule in the prevention of lens protein aggregation and points to a novel strategy for cataract prevention and treatment."

"These are very preliminary findings," said J Fielding Hejtmancik, a scientist at the US National Eye Institute, who wrote a commentary in Nature.

"Before there are any human trials, the scientists will probably test other molecules to see if they might work even better," he said.

The human lens is comprised largely of crystallin proteins assembled into a highly ordered, interactive macro-structure essential for lens transparency and refractive index. Any disruption of intra- or inter-protein interactions will alter this delicate structure, exposing hydrophobic surfaces, with…

Apparently, this bionic lens would allow people to see to infinity and replace the need for eyeglasses and contact lenses.

A new bionic eye lens currently in development would give humans 3x 20/20 vision, at any age. The lens, named the Ocumetics Bionic Lens, was developed by Dr. Garth Webb, an optometrist in British Columbia who was looking for a way to optimize eyesight regardless of a person’s health or age. With thi…
