My brother, who is blind (from an accident some years ago) rode 5 laps of the Redstar racetrack yesterday, with a guide biker to the rear, helping him navigate, and using an echolocation headset (vOICe tech). For the... https://t.co/nhyo1Eu6QR

Have you every wanted to get laser eye surgery done but without the surgical complications? One researcher may have figured it out #eyetech @forbes https://t.co/oNCnlwDbmE

@SPIEtweets It was a pleasure to read it!

Developed in 1821, Braille is used by millions everywhere in the word but they have their own issues. Bulky and twice as heavy, there is a need for efficient and inexpensive refreshable full-page Braille displays. #eye #eyetech #blind #braille

As technology advances, so do lenses. In the past, they were made exclusively of glass. Today, most are made of far more breathable plastics. Learn more!

Axonal processes from RGCs ultimately form the optic nerve to transmit the light-evoked neuronal signals to the visual cortex.

Gold nanotechnology and lasers used to successfully freeze fish embryos. Researchers cryopreserve (or freeze) the embryo of zebrafish because it is a species that is an important medical model for human health https://t.co/ujDanpcskB

A sugar scaffold that can erode away over time (internally biodegradable.
Very cool, but the bulk release profiles of the hydrogels and sugars they mention seem like the final product will erode violently. The product is nice, but is it modifiable?

Moving anything often requires awkward static postures, repetition of movement, and overexertion. Over time, these increase the likelihood of tissue microfissures and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). https://t.co/HpDWt1QUQb

I take my hat off to those @rhiwbinarecclub who had got their AED ready & next to a collapsed individual.
Thankfully not required!
AED’s are key to the survival of a cardiac arrest!
Do you know where the nearest one is at your sports center???

This seems good for in-vivo medical trials. The previously mentioned scaffold has a harsh seeming bulk release profile, but reading up on @RutgersU 's new aqueous smart gel, seems like they chose the right materials for the job!
