Method of treating macular degeneration with a prostaglandin derivative

A method of treating age-related macular degeneration in an eye is described, comprising contacting the eye with a therapeutic amount of a prostaglandin F2alpha derivative. The preferred prostaglandin F2alpha derivative is latanoprost, and the preferred dosage is between about 1.5 mug and about 4.5 mug per day per eye.

Video game to monitor retinal diseases

Systems and methods for providing a video game to map macular visual acuity comprising a multiple choice test where the fixation point is ensured by brief simultaneous presentation of both a central and pericentral targets. The game may be implemented on a hardware platform including a video display, a user input device, and a video camera. The camera is used to monitor ambient light level and the distance between the device and the eyes of the test subject. The game serves as a macular acuity perimeter that produces a map of the acuity of an eye that may be compared with normative data. The type of acuity tested is preferably Vernier acuity, but resolution acuity can also be tested. The test results are transmitted to a health care professional by telecommunications means to facilitate the diagnosis or monitoring of age-related macular degeneration or other relevant eye diseases.

Polynucleotides associated with age-related macular degeneration and methods for evaluating patient risk

The present invention provides for certain polynucleotide sequences that have been correlated to AMD. These polynucleotides are useful as diagnostics, and are preferably used to fabricate an array, useful for screening patient samples. The array is used as part of a laboratory information management system, to store and process additional patient information in addition to the patient's genomic profile. As described herein, the system provides an assessment of the patient's risk for developing AMD, risk for disease progression, and the likelihood of disease prevention based on patient controllable factors.

Ophthalmic spectacle lenses, materials and method

An ophthalmic spectacle lens having transmittance properties that block UV and violet light and partially block certain cyan wavelengths to enhance contrast between blue versus green and partially block certain yellow wavelengths to enhance contrast between green versus red, and keep in accordance with the tristimulus values. Adding wavelength-selective organic dyes provides the entire functional attributes of the current invention or improves the contrast-enhancing attributes provided by a glass wafer having functional rare-earth oxides, either of which improve multi-band spectrum that is balanced in blocking UV light, and adding contrast between the primary colors to optimize color-enhancing functions. When using organic dyes for all functional attributes it is possible to integrate these dyes into plastic ophthalmic materials. Some lenses are polarized. Unlike other color-enhancing sunglass lenses, this invention may help protect the eyes from over-exposure to some high-energy visible blue light, which may lead to age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Method of treatment or prevention of age-related macular degeneration

A method of treatment and / or prevention of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) wherein, in a first step, the need for treatment or susceptibility to AMD is determined for an individual and, in a second step, a medication comprising lutein and / or zeaxanthin and / or certain antioxidants (or a mixture thereof) is tailored to that individual. The invention also provides a method of determining a substance to be administered to an individual, which individual may be susceptible of having age-related macular degeneration (or an age-related macular degeneration-related disorder) comprising: a) determining the susceptibility of the individual to age-related macular degeneration (usually genetically, by detection of an SNP); and b) on the basis of the determination in a), identifying a substance capable of preventing or treating age-related macular degeneration in that individual. The method may additionally comprise providing (such as administering or communicating) the substance (or its identity) to the individual.

Gene mutation associated with age-related macular degeneration

The present invention describes the identification of a mutation in a human FIBL-6 protein, which mutation is associated with Familial Age-Related Macular Degeneration. Transcripts and products of this mutated gene are useful in detecting and diagnosing AMD, developing therapeutics for treatment of AMD, as well as the isolation and manufacture of the protein and the constructions of transgenic animals expressing the mutant genes.

Therapeutic Administration Of The Scrambled Anti-Angiogenic Peptide C16Y

Unregulated angiogenesis is associated with a variety of pathological conditions. Tumor growth and metastasis is dependent on the development of new blood vessels. The development of new blood vessels in the eye, or ocular neovascularization, has been implicated in a variety of serious ocular diseases. For instance, choroidal neovascularization is linked to age-related macular degeneration, while retinal neovascularization is linked to diabetic retinopathy. The present invention is based on the discovery of a peptide sequence, C16Y, which inhibits ocular neovascularization and tumor growth in vivo. C16Y is a scrambled version of the C16 peptide sequence from the y1 chain of laminin-1. Unlike C16, which is an angiogenic stimulator, C16Y has been shown to inhibit angiogenesis. The present invention discloses methods of treating ocular neovascularization and cancer using both full-length and truncated versions of the C16Y.

Optical lenses

This invention relates to an optical lenses, which includes a lens substrate, a multi-layers film is set on one side of the lens substrate to block partial blue light and infrared light. The multi-layers film is formed by interactive stacking a plurality of layers of a low refractive index film (such as silicon dioxide film, the mix material film which is composed of silicon dioxide and alumina or the mix material film which is composed of silicon dioxide and silicon oxide) and a high refractive index film (such as zirconium dioxide film, trititanium pentoxide film, titanium dioxide film, tantalum pentoxide film or the mix material which is composed of zirconium dioxide and titanium dioxide), and each layer of film is used a specific thickness. So that, the optical lens can produce the effect of blocking partial blue light and infrared light without overly increased in color, allowing the user's eyes to keep cool due to partial infrared light blocking. Moreover, the optical lens can also reduce the user's eyes produce age related macular degeneration or cataract to achieve the effect of reduce eye fatigue and prolong vision view due to partial blue light blocking.
