Extremely intense X-rays from Diamond - the UK's national synchrotron - are helping to advance research into the understanding and treatment of eye diseases. Due to the detailed nature of the experiments, researchers are making discoveries about the eye that should help to advance laser surgeries such as LASIK and contribute to the eventual development of an artificial cornea.
