Robot controlled by eye, designed by Indian, student of University of Bradford.

Now with new invention by an Indian student at University of Bradford’s school of engineering, design and technology, we can now control robots and house hold appliance just by our eye.

Just for prototype, he has developed a wireless robot that can be controlled simply by the blink of an eye.

Mr Suraj Verma, a master’s student at the University of Bradford’s school of engineering, design and technology,Britain, developed the robot under the supervision of his lecturer, Mr Prashant Pillai, that uses sophisticated eye-tracking technology.

Wine for Better Eye Vision.

(IANS) Resveratrol, an ingredient found in red wine, grapes, blueberries, peanuts and some plants, stops uncontrolled blood vessel growth in the eye, says a study led by an Indian-American.

'Resveratrol has been identified as an anti-aging compound. Given our interest in age-related eye diseases, we wanted to find out whether there was any link,' said retina specialist Rajendra S. Apte, senior study investigator.

Apte, formerly from Mumbai University and now with the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, added: 'There were reports on resveratrol's effects on blood vessels in other parts of the body, but there was no evidence that it had any effect within the eye.'

New method to save eyesight loss

London, (ANI): A scientist duo has found a way to boost the nutritional value of corn-a feat that could reduce the number of children in developing countries who lose their eyesight, become ill or die each year because of vitamin A deficiencies.

Corn contains carotenoids, some of which the body can convert to vitamin A.

Beta-carotene is the best vitamin A precursor, but only a very small percentage of corn varieties have naturally high beta-carotene levels.

In Africa and other developing regions, corn is a major staple and hundreds of thousands of children become blind, develop weakened immune systems and die because of diets based largely on corn that lacks sufficient beta-carotene.

Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists Marilyn Warburton and Edward Buckler identified genetic sequences linked to higher beta-carotene levels in corn and demonstrating an inexpensive and fast way to identify corn plants that will produce even higher levels.

The study is considered a breakthrough in nutritional plant breeding, reports Nature.

In the study, the researchers surveyed the genetic sequences of corn from around the world through association mapping, a method made possible by recent breakthroughs that accelerate the genetic profiling of crops.

Green tea 'could help stave off eye disease'

Article appeared in telegraph.co.uk

The tea has always been known for its antioxidant effects and disease fighting properties, but now researchers say the benefits could help the eyes.

The report, the first to study how the lens, retina, and other eye tissues absorb these substances, suggests that the drink may protect against glaucoma and other common eye diseases.
