Tissues within the lens can break down and clump together, clouding small areas within the
lens of the eye, thereby forming a cataract.
A cataract is the clouding of the clear
lens of the eye, which lies behind the iris and the pupil.
Cataracts develop when protein builds up in the
lens of the eye and makes it cloudy.
Cataracts are a condition where the
lens of the eye becomes clouded and affects vision.
Freedom Meditech has developed an FDA-cleared, noninvasive eye scan that utilises lens autoflourescence to detect the presence of advanced glycation products or AGEs in the
lens of the eye that has the potential to screen for chronic diseases like diabetes.
A The
lens of the eye is usually as clear as a crystal.
Affecting tens of millions of people worldwide, cataracts cause the
lens of the eye to become progressively cloudy, and when left untreated, can lead to total blindness.
"No one has ever put electronics inside the
lens of the eye, so this is a little more radical," says Karl Bohringer, a UW professor of electrical engineering.
Study results of an eye scanning system (fluorescent ligand eye scanning, or FLES) that detects beta-amyloid deposits on the
lens of the eye, conducted by the Banner Alzheimer's Institute, Phoenix, also were reported at the AAIC.
Cataracts are cloudy opacifications of the
lens of the eye that interfere with vision.
Presbyopia is caused by the
lens of the eye hardening with age and losing its ability to change shape to focus on nearby objects.
lens of the eye - biconvex transparent body situated behind the iris in the eye; its role (along with the cornea) is to focuses light on the retina
