    The Eyes Have It: The Modern Medicine of Vision, Part 2 - http://researchchannel.org/prog/disp...=29309&fID=345

    Diseases of the eye substantially degrade the quality of life for hundreds of millions of people worldwide. University of Washington School of Medicine professors Drs. Joann G. Elmore, Tueng Shen, Hugh M. Foy and Russ Van Gelder discuss leading causes of blindness, its symptoms and current and emerging treatments.


    Refractive Eye Surgery - http://researchchannel.org/prog/disp...=18493&fID=345

    Laser eye surgery allows many people to enjoy life without glasses. At UW Medical Center's Refractive Surgery Center, Dr. Tueng T. Shen and her University of Washington team offer the latest form of this surgery, called LASEK. This procedure can be done without cutting a flap in the cornea, as the older and more familiar LASIK surgery did, which means less chance for complications in the future. We profile three patients who have had or are preparing to have this procedure, including the contact lens trials that will allow them to choose the best level of correction for their own lifestyles.


    Restoring Vision: A Look Into UW Medicine Eye Institute - http://researchchannel.org/prog/disp...=29732&fID=345

    When Anne Beidler began to notice changes in her vision, she feared the worst: she'd watched her mother lose her sight from macular degeneration. But physicians at the UW Medicine Eye Institute were able to treat Anne by injecting a new drug into her eye that began to improve her vision within hours. With 22 ophthalmologists on staff, the institute is known for multidisciplinary collaborative care of both common and complex eye conditions. Watch as a diabetic patient undergoes cataract surgery, and a woman has micrographic surgery to remove cancerous tissue from her eyelid. The institute is leading research efforts to improve treatment for eye diseases and also training the next generation of ophthalmologists at the University of Washington's School of Medicine.


    Nutritional Therapies for Age-related Eye Diseases - http://researchchannel.org/prog/disp...D=3123&fID=345

    Between 2000 and 2020, the number of people 65 years or older in the United States will increase from 35 million to 53 million—a 53 percent increase. This is the fastest growing population segment in the United States and will impact age-related eye diseases such as macular degeneration and cataracts. Dr. Emily Chew, of the National Eye Institute, will explain age-related eye diseases, their incidence and the results of recent studies regarding nutritional supplements for these conditions.


    Cataract Surgery - http://researchchannel.org/prog/disp...=29736&fID=345

    Joe Fernandes loves to travel, but as he developed cataracts, the world became blurry. He turned to Dr. Thellea Leveque, at the UW Medicine Eye Institute, for lens replacement surgery. Mr. Fernandes had other health concerns which could make his surgery more complicated, including diabetes and a heart condition. Dr. Leveque specializes in treating patients with complex cases, and she monitored him closely during his successful surgery. With 22 ophthalmologists on staff, the institute is known for multidisciplinary collaborative care of both common and complex eye conditions.
