Article Synopsis
- Scientists have created new eye implants made from special materials that help reduce swelling and improve healing after surgery.
- These implants work better than older ones because they also help prevent inflammation and speed up nerve healing.
- After testing on mini-pigs, the new implants showed signs of better recovery, making them look and act more like healthy corneas.
Studies have observed that deaf signers have a larger Visual Field (VF) than hearing non-signers with a particular large extension in the lower part of the VF. This increment could stem from early deafness or from the extensive use of sign language, since the lower VF is critical to perceive and understand linguistics gestures in sign language communication. The aim of the present study was to explore the potential impact of sign language experience without deafness on the VF sensitivity within its lower part.
