Self-powered artificial synapses are advanced electronic devices designed to emulate the function of biological synapses, enabling machines to process visual information in a manner similar to human color vision. These devices integrate optical sensing, memory, and processing capabilities into a single unit, allowing for efficient and adaptive visual perception.

What Is Astigmatism?Astigmatism is a common vision condition that causes blurred or distorted vision at all distances. It occurs when the cornea (the clear front surface of the eye) or the lens inside the eye has an irregular shape. Instead of being perfectly round like a basketball, it’s shaped more like a football, which prevents light from focusing properly on the retina.

Eye allergies, also known as allergic conjunctivitis, occur when the eyes react to allergens like pollen, pet dander, dust mites, or mold. This reaction triggers the immune system to release histamines, causing itchy, red, watery, and swollen eyes.Symptoms of Eye Allergies:Itchy eyes (one of the most common signs)Red or bloodshot eyesWatery or teary eyesSwollen eyelidsBurning or stinging sensationSensitivity to light (photophobia)Stringy mucus discharge (in some cases)Common Triggers of Eye Allergies:Pollen (from trees, grass, and weeds—common in seasonal allergies)Pet dander (shed skin flakes from cats, dogs, etc.)Dust mites (tiny insects found in bedding, carpets, and furniture)Mold spores (indoor and outdoor molds)Smoke, perfumes, or strong odorsContact lenses (some people are allergic to lens solutions or deposits on lenses)Types of Eye Allergies:Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis (SAC) – Caused by pollen during certain seasons.Perennial Allergic Conjunctivitis (PAC) – Occurs year-round due to indoor allergens.Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis (GPC) – Linked to contact lens irritation.Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) – More severe and common in warm climates.Atopic Keratoconjunctivitis (AKC) – Chronic and linked to eczema or atopic dermatitis.Treatment & Relief:Avoid allergens (stay indoors during high pollen seasons, use air purifiers)Cold compress (to reduce swelling and itching)Artificial tears (to flush out allergens and soothe irritation)Antihistamine eye drops (reduce itching and swelling)Mast cell stabilizers (prevent allergic reactions, used before exposure)Steroid eye drops (for severe cases, prescribed by a doctor)Oral antihistamines (help with overall allergy symptoms)For more information on this and other eye or vision-related topics subscribe to our blog.
