Waiting within waking

Awake for too long, a doll has gone on. Distracted each waking moment, a doll still tried to process.

Eyes having run dry, a doll has drifted by. Light of the sun having passed by, a doll yearned to see again all the beauty of the sky.

Hibernating for so long, a doll hasn't moved on. Hiding from sight, a doll had needed more time.

No More Tears

At the very front of our eyes, the cornea forms a transparent barrier that lets in light but also protects these delicate organs from the outside world. Keeping the cornea clear is critical for good vision, so populations of stem cells, including limbal stem cells (LSCs), provide constant maintenance and repair, while tears ensure the cornea stays lubricated. In dry eye disease, a lack of tears makes the cornea more vulnerable to injury, and recent research on stem cells in the eyes of mice (pictured, in green) reveals that this condition also alters gene expression in the LSCs. In particular, a gene called SPARC is more strongly expressed both in mice suffering from dry eye disease, and after the cornea is damaged. Tests on cultured corneal cells suggest the SPARC protein helps wounds to heal after mechanical damage, making it a promising target for developing treatments to tackle eye injuries.

Understanding Cataracts: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options

Cataracts are a common eye condition where the lens becomes cloudy, leading to blurred vision and difficulty seeing in low light. Most prevalent in those over 60, they can also be caused by genetics, health conditions, or environmental factors. Treatment ranges from glasses to cataract surgery, which restores clear vision. Regular eye exams are crucial for early detection.
