SOURCE: STAT NEWS NEUROSCIENCETITLE: STAT+: In small trial, optogenetics restores some vision lost to retinitis pigmentosa
Retinitis pigmentosa is a genetic disorder that causes degeneration of the light-sensing cells in the retina. Generally diagnosed in childhood or early adolescence, patients gradually lose peripheral and night vision, often becoming legally blind by young adulthood.
With the exception of a subset of patients who present a specific genetic mutation and can be treated with gene therapy, there is no cure for the condition. Cases are addressed by measures to slow degeneration and preserve what is left of the vision.
Optogenetics — the technology just recognized with a Nobel Prize — could offer hope, according to a new paper published on Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Most eye problems we see could've been gentler if caught earlier.
Recommending a check-up or a dry eye routine isn't selling. It's caring about the future version of you. Little and often beats too much, too late.

Good morning tooters. It wasn’t quite as cold last night & when I got up it was 3c with fog & 2hrs later it’s not only still there but even thicker, I can’t see the big tree at the end of the street at all, not even a shadow. It should clear away to sunshine later & reach the forecasted 15c 🤞🏼.
I have to organise myself soon as my appointment at the optometrist is for 9am. It’s only a five minute drive away, but getting a park is the trick. I need to go back to the supermarket as well as I realised when I went to make my soup that I’ve run out of onions - you’ve got to have onions for soups.
I would like to do an exercise class later, but plan to keep it a light one for today. I’ll see how I go.
Hope you all have a wonderful #Wednesday, mid week already 🤷🏼♀️. Hope you all get some sunshine, stay warm out there. #Weather #AussieWinter #EyeHealth #Soup #Exercise -

Which is actually better for your eyes: dark mode or light mode? The answer involves optical physics, contrast sensitivity, and ambient light. At Silphium Design, we compared readability and eye health. Blending my computer science and sociology background, I examine how interface illumination impacts both visual fatigue and daily habits. Let us optimize your screen setup.

1. No tear of the retina was found today (detachment of the vitreous is what's causing the floaters and flashing lights).
2. Trip to Michigan delayed for a month until I'm rechecked, but that just gives me more time to settle things here at home first (and to plan my route to and from Michigan).
3. Got the new lens for my new full-frame camera, and wow, what a difference it makes for my photographs!
