  2. 16. Wavefront Aberrations and Peripheral Vision

    Author : Linda Lundström; Peter Unsbo; Austin Roorda; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Optics; Human eye; Aberrations; Peripheral vision; Central visual field loss; Optics; Optik;

    Abstract : Failing eyesight causes a dramatic change in life. The aim of this project is to help people with large central visual field loss to better utilize their remaining vision. Central visual field loss means that the person has to rely on peripheral vision since the direct vision is lost, often due to a dysfunctional macula. READ MORE

  4. 17. Clinical investigations of fixation stability and reading eye movements

    Author : Fredrik Källmark; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope SLO ; Tobii Eye-tracker; reading speed; reading eye movements; fixation; regression; saccades; AMD; Lucentis.;

    Abstract : Reading and writing plays a fundamental role in our culture. Compared with, e.g. speech, written language has an immense impact as it offers the possibility to share information over unprecedented distance in time and space. READ MORE

  6. 19. Transpupillary thermotherapy and photodynamic therapy for neovascular age-related macular degeneration

    Author : Anne Odergren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible blindness among elderly in industrialized nations, and promises to extract an even greater toll with the imminent demographic shift. Neovascular AMD (wet AMD) often develops quickly and involves the growth of new blood vessels under the retina (choroidal neovascularization, CNV). READ MORE

  7. 20. Uveal melanoma and macular degeneration : molecular biology and potential therapeutic applications

    Author : Mario A Economou; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Uveal melanoma; exudative AMD; IGF-1R; c-Met; prognostic markers; metastasis; oral treatment; VEGF;

    Abstract : Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignant tumor in adults with 30% to 50% of patients that ultimately succumb to metastatic disease, mainly to the liver. Although new diagnostic and therapeutic tools have been developed during the most recent years, only the eye conservation rate has been achieved, while the survival rate remains poor. READ MORE
