Here are a couple of links. This first one is about eye research that could bring vision to the severely visually impaired.
This second one shows how amazing the human spirit is, as an urban artist who became totally paralysed uses his eyes to create art. Aided by an open source collaboration, now he can at least do one of the things that he always loved to do.
Recently we had a gentleman visit us who has the rare condition, Usher Syndrome.
You can read more about it here, and here, but it is a rare genetic condition that can cause deafness and blindness. He had been trying to get lenses that would aid his vision and was recommended to us by a colleague of his.
The use of an orange lens which had the ability to change from light to dark and back from Bolle Optical was just the answer.
He is delighted with these lenses, which filter out harmful light and reduce glare significantly.
