Process of Treating Myopia by Modulating Retinal Signaling Pathways Underlying Retinal Response to Positive and Negative Optical Defocus Myopia (nearsightedness) is the most common eye disorder, and is rapidly becoming one of the leading causes of blindness. At the current rate of myopia occurrences, more than half the population will be myopic by 2050. While myopia has already increased from effecting 25% of the U.S. to 58% as of 2014, over 80% of the populations of urban communities...

Fast NIR Probes for Optical Electrophysiology Current problem Optical imaging of myocardial tissue is traditionally done by using either branch electrodes, or high voltage sensitive dye. Both of these mapping procedures have significant drawbacks. Using branch electrodes to map the myocardial tissue is problematic because several needles have to be inserted into the heart, causing damage...
