Eye opener

(BBC 13/05/2009)

Astronomers at the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh are working with medics to apply technology used to detect stars to treat diseases in the human eye. Adaptive optics is used by astronomers to cut out atmospheric turbulence around stars to produce clear images. The technology they use to cut out the "twinkle" of stars can give a clearer image of the retina and help detect disease in the eye. It will be highlighted at a conference at Stirling University later.
