New imaging technique
| A new imaging technique developed by a University of Pittsburgh researcher and colleagues could significantly advance how eye health and disease are assessed, according to the results of a study published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The method is the first to be able to make out individual cells at the back of the eye that are implicated in vision loss in diseases like glaucoma. The research team hopes the new technique will prevent vision loss by enabling earlier diagnosis and treatment of these diseases. |
