COMPANY AIMS TO CURE BLINDNESS WITH OPTOGENETICS
One biotech startup wants to restore vision in blind patients with a gene therapy that gives light sensitivity to neurons that don't normally possess it. Click here to read more.
APPS BEGIN TO GIVE BLIND ACCESS TO TOUCH SCREENS
While America's love affair with touch-screen payment devices continues to leave the blind and visually impaired in the dark, prospects for a hassle-free checkout in the near future are finally looking up. Click here to read more.
WHO'S AGAINST BLIND PEOPLE READING? NOBODY!
So, why is it so hard to get an international treaty to help people with disabilities that affect reading print? Welcome to the weird politics of intellectual property. Basically, we have approval of a policy, but are unable to implement that policy. Click here to read more.
BLIND STUDENTS PRESENTS 3-D TACTILE IMAGES TO NATIONAL MICROSCOPY CONFERENCE
While Ashleigh Gonzales is a typical, 20-year-old ASU senior, she is not your average student. Unlike other undergraduates studying life sciences, her decision to major in molecular biosciences and biotechnology created an unusual challenge - one few others are willing to tackle. Gonzales is blind. Yet she is pursuing a STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) degree that requires an understanding of many detailed, microscopic biological elements - something she finds fascinating and exciting.

ASU students present their poster, "Pictures Worth a Thousand Words," to
a national microscopy conference. The poster details their research
into 3-D tactile images which can help blind and visually impaired
students succeed in STEM classes. Left to right: Debra Baluch, research
