  2. 🧠 Could the brain reveal vision loss more accurately than traditional eye tests?

  3. Ocular coloboma is a congenital eye defect that occurs when the optic fissure fails to close properly during early development. Recent research utilizing lab-grown, miniature human retinas—known as retinal organoids—has identified how mutations in a specific growth-controlling protein contribute to this condition.

  4. The administration of cortisone eye drops, specifically dexamethasone, prevents the progression of severe retinopathy of prematurity in premature infants, often eliminating the need for invasive surgical procedures.

  5. How does being outdoors prevent the development of Myopia? (11 June 2024)

    youtu.be/FHXs_7Lv_Gc?si=q7caV1

    - afternoon time outdoors more important than morning
    - light intensity
    - spectral quality (red)
    - dopamine, local effect on eye
    - atropine & dopamine do not affect normal eye growth; only have effects once myopic changes are initiated

    ~

    Why aren't there more epidemiological studies that consider the effect time spent outdoors on health?
