Plan “B” Eyewear Announces Arrival of Ver Sport Protection Eyewear

Take your game to the next level with Troy, the first model in the Ver Sport collection. Designed in Spain, the Troy is constructed from TR-90 and features a patented quick twist temple system that allows for a quick and secure lock. This revolutionary feature allows the wearer to go from comfortable, shock-absorbing wish-bone temple tips to a secure head band strap in a snap. Other features include an aero bridge for increased air flow, and a dynamic temple shaft.

Improving Glaucoma Surgery Through… Pancakes?

At the University College London Institute of Ophthalmology, scientists are improving surgical techniques for glaucoma treatments by looking at an unlikely source: the fluid mechanics of cooking pancakes.

When the pancakes were made with thin batter, the water vapour escapes through channels on the surface, leaving a distinctive pattern of pits and a ring around the outer edge of the pancake.

So how does this relate to ophthalmology? Like a pancake, the human eye may be mathematically modeled as a flexible sheet.

Co-author Professor Sir Peng Khaw, Director of the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre at Moorfields Eye Hospital and UCL Institute of Ophthalmology, explains: “To treat [glaucoma], surgeons create an escape route for the fluid by carefully cutting the flexible sheets of the sclera. We are improving this technique by working with engineers and mathematicians. It’s a wonderful example of how the science of everyday activities can help us with the medical treatments of the future.”
