Presbyopia and hyperopia are treated by a method which increases the amplitude of accommodation by increasing the effective working distance of the ciliary muscle in the presbyopic eye. The effective working distance of the ciliary muscle can be increased by expanding the sclera in the region of th...

Eye and visual health issues in older adults are prevalent, often undetected and untreated, but can contribute to poor physical and mental health issues, and higher mortality rates. The study describes state and local community rates of eye and visual health indicators (cataract, glaucoma, self-re...
At the front of the eye, the transparency of both the cornea and the lens are crucial to allow passage of photons to the light-sensitive portion of the eye. Similarly, the highly organized structure of the retina located at the back of the eye is indispensable to allow for effective ...
Age-related differences on the time course of inhibition of return (IOR), a phenomenon that refers to a slowed response time for targets appearing at a previously attended location, were examined in 30 young and 30 elderly adults. Stimulus onset asynchronies (SOAs) between peripheral cues and ...
Interactions between the sexes negatively impact health in many species. In Caenorhabditis, males shorten the lifespan of the opposite sex—hermaphrodites or females. Here we use transcriptomic profiling and targeted screens to systematically uncover con

Aging can be defined as a gradual, multifactorial, time-dependent process leading to the loss of function, biological and physical damage, and the onset of multiple age-related diseases. Aging progressively affects most regulatory mechanisms due to the hierarchical organization of living systems. The...
