Nine-point eye scan could help detect corneal disease earlier
Scientists from the International Centre for Translational Eye Research (ICTER) have developed a tomography system that can simultaneously track how nine points of the cornea respond to a puff of air, potentially paving the way for more accurate, non-contact assessment of eye biomechanics and earlier detection of diseases such as keratoconus.

New MRI breakthrough could spot hidden optic nerve damage before vision loss
Standard MRI scans can show the structure of the brain and eye sockets, but they cannot reveal subtle damage to the microscopic fibres of the optic nerve - changes that may appear before irreversible vision loss. Polish researchers have developed a new method of analysing MRI images that could help doctors detect this hidden damage earlier and make more informed treatment decisions.
