Pupillary dilation is a crutial part of your eye exam, and a most valuable step toward protecting your eye health. But it is also greatly disliked by most patients. Dilation drops typically take 4-6 hours to wear off, and during that time blurred vision and light sensitivity remain. Released in 1991, Rev-Eyes (dapiprazole), promised to revolutionize the practice of eye care by providing a means to reverse dilation. The new drop counteracted dilation by stimulating pupil constriction. The reality of the situation was that the drop tended to work slow, often taking a few hours to return pupils to their normal state. The drop also caused unpleasant side effects such as stinging upon instillation and red eyes in the majority of patients. It was also expensive, costing 4-5x more than the dilation drops. Rev-Eyes are no longer available in the United States, but hope remains for an alternative.

Priced at a whopping $15K are the worlds first gold plated and diamond studded contact lenses. Inspired by an optometrist in India, this eye jewelry has been developed through the Shekhar Eye Institute. Eye care professionals are not without concern, as these large "scleral" lenses are bulky and typically used only when necessary to treat diseased eyes. Luckily the price tag is sure to sway most beauty addicts.

Recently eye doctors in Phoenix got a sneak peek at the world's first and only electronically-focusing prescription eyeglasses according to KPHO. The new eyeglasses are called Empower glasses. The glasses created by Pixel Optics change focus when the wearer touches his temple or tilts his head instantly creating an up close or near zone. The glasses are powered by a hidden battery that is rechargeable. The new eyeglasses are supposed to have less distortion and wider field of views as compared to progressive glasses.

According to the Phoenix Business Journal a new treatment to prevent blindness from Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) in premature infants was performed in Scottsdale, Arizona. ROP is one of the most common causes of visual loss in children. This new treatment uses the cancer drug Avastin. The Avastin is injected directly into the eye to reverse the effects from the ROP. The alternate treatment is laser which has been used for years, but can cause damage to eyes and is not always 100% successful.
Dr. James Plotnik, consulting pediatric ophthalmologist at Scottsdale Healthcare, injected avastin into a preemie with ROP and the retinas now look completely normal. Although he states this is still early on he is very optimistic that the infant will have normal vision. According to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine it was stated that Avastin is far more effective at preventing blindness in preemies than laser.
