A study published in Cell Reports in 2026 proposes a new hypothesis about the mechanisms behind myopia: it may not be screens themselves that drive its development, but rather the reduction in light reaching the retina during prolonged near work in poorly lit indoor environments. Researchers at SUNY College of Optometry (New York) show that pupil constriction linked to accommodation — the natural reflex that makes nearby images sharp — is more pronounced in myopes, further reducing retinal illumination.
Presbyopia, the diminished ability of the eye to focus close objects after 40, is a challenge for many. Fortunately, an innovative solution is on the horizon: pilocarpine-based eye drops.
A Cochrane organization review critically examines the usefulness of blue light filters. Blue light filtering glasses have become a common accessory, especially for those who spend a lot of time in front of screens. However, a recent Cochrane study raises questions about their actual effectiveness.
In this article, we compare two refractive surgery techniques to correct myopia: wavefront-guided LASIK (WFG-LASIK) and small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). Discover the results of two independent studies that demonstrate why LASIK is the preferred option for those looking to get rid of glasses or contact lenses.
Glaucoma is an eye condition that, if left untreated, can result in irreversible vision loss. That's why, at the Brussels-Schuman Medical Center, we are committed to providing our patients with regular and comprehensive monitoring of their eye health. For over ten years, we have regularly performed a visual field examination and optical coherence tomography (OCT) for our glaucoma patients.
Solar radiation can be dangerous to our eye health without adequate protection. Sunglasses play a key role in this protection, but not all sunglasses are equal in terms of eye protection. Here is a comprehensive guide to understanding and choosing the most suitable sunglasses for your situation.
We are pleased to announce an exciting new phase for Brussels-Schuman Medical Center, your trusted destination for quality ophthalmic care. Since December 2022, our ophthalmologists have been available at La Sauvagère Medical Center, which is a renowned general medical center in Uccle, located across from Lycée Français Jean Monnet.
The results of a recent clinical trial confirm that atropine is an effective medication for slowing down myopia progression in children aged 6 to 12.
