Amblyopia, more commonly known as ‘lazy-eye’ is the related to the eyes, where one eye is weaker than the other, and thus lead to poor vision among the patient.
The medical science is progressing day by day. In the present era, the scientists are cracking the unsolved mysteries of the diseases, which had been surrounding the human race from ages.
Now eyes will help the doctors to detect patients prone to diabetes. A new screening device is designed by scientists at the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Centre. It will take images of eyes and detect metabolic stress and tissue damage. Thus the new device will give symptoms of eye diseases and these symptoms will be used to find diabetes prone persons.
The screening device tests both eyes in five minutes. It measures the intensity of cellular fluorescence in retinal tissue. The high level of fluorescence indicates eye disease.
