For years, we’ve guffawed at the antics of the unhinged <keyword id="19929575" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Florida" source="keywords">Florida</keyword> man. Fed up with the ridicule, the region’s <keyword id="21281299" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="ants" source="keywords">ants</keyword> have taken it upon themselves to improve the reputation of the coastal state by simply doing what they do best: becoming life-saving surgeons! In a fascinating turn of events, scientists have documented that Florida carpenter ants (Camponotus floridanus) engage in selective medical treatments, including wound cleaning and even <keyword id="21021746" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="amputation" source="keywords">amputation</keyword>, to care for their injured nestmates. <h2>Blending personal and the professional</h2>However, the process of treatment might be a little more gross than we’re used to. As per the research, the ants prescribe two primary types of treatments: wound cleaning with mouthparts or a combination of cleaning followed by full amputation of the leg. The decision on which treatment to use depended on the injury's location. While the treatment might be more personal than you would expect, you certainly cannot argue with the results. "Femur <keyword id="20037259" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="injuries" source="keywords">injuries</keyword>, where they always amputated the leg, had a success rate around 90% or 95%. And for the tibia, where they did not amputate, it still achieved about the survival rate of 75%," explains study author Erik Frank. In contrast, untreated infected wounds had much lower survival rates. <h2>Why such selective <keyword id="19935980" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="surgery" source="keywords">surgery</keyword>?</h2>But why do ants choose to amputate the femur but not the tibia? The researchers hypothesised it might relate to the risk of infection. Micro-CT scans revealed that the femur, rich in muscle tissue, is crucial for circulating blood, or hemolymph, suggesting that femur injuries could lead to dangerous infections if not amputated. However, tibia injuries, with less muscle tissue involved, required more time for careful cleaning to prevent rapid infection spread. Amputating the tibia was too slow to be effective, hence the preference for thorough cleaning. <h2>Humans, and now ants!</h2>"The fact that the ants are able to diagnose a wound, see if it's infected or sterile, and treat it accordingly over long periods of time by other individuals — the only medical system that can rival that would be the human one," Frank remarks. The researchers are now exploring if other Camponotus species exhibit similar behaviours and how these ants manage such precise <keyword id="20534371" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="medical-care" source="keywords">medical care</keyword>. Understanding the innate cooperation and potential for pain perception in ants could offer deeper insights into the complexity of insect societies. However, this is not to say that this discovery is entirely out of the blue either. In 2023, it was found that Megaponera analis, another ant species, uses antimicrobial compounds from a special gland to treat injuries. However, Florida carpenter ants lack this gland, relying solely on mechanical means for their medical care. The findings of this research have been published in Current Biology and can be accessed <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2024.06.021">here</a>.

After humans, ants are now the only species found performing life-saving surgery on others of their species!

Rupa Wong: "If you cross your eyes, they'll stay that way." Man, that's an oldie but a goodie."It's OK to go swimming or take a shower in contact lenses."All right, everybody does it. But they really shouldn't."Styes are contagious."Jenifer Bossert: No!Wong: Not at all.Bossert: Styes are not contagious.Wong: And you don't get them from pools.Bossert: And you don't get them from rubbing your eyes.Wong: Doorknobs.Bossert: Kissing others. No, you don't get them from any of those things. Aloha, my name is Dr. Jenifer Bossert. I am the optometrist at the Honolulu Eye Clinic. I've been in practice for 30 years, and my specialty is contact lenses.Wong: And aloha, everyone. I am Dr. Rupa Wong. I am a board-certified ophthalmologist. I've been in private practice here in Hawaii for 13 years working alongside this wonderful lady here. I specialize in pediatric ophthalmology and adult strabismus.Bossert: And today we are here to debunk myths about vision. We're going to start off with debunking myths that we used to think were true."Reading in the dark or while lying down will damage your vision."Bossert: No, this is a myth. It does not damage your vision.Wong: And my oldest son reads in the dark all the time. My mother, obviously knows I'm an ophthalmologist, still comes to my house and tells me, "Your son should not read in the dark." Not true. Because people need good light to see better, they assumed maybe that when you're reading in the dark, because it is usually more challenging, maybe they thought that was straining your eyes. People confuse those issues with damaging your eyes."Eating carrots will improve your eyesight."Wong: I have actually just studied where the origin of this myth came from. It's really interesting. So, it was basically a campaign during World War II because the British air fighter pilots had this radar technology to be able to detect the German targets. But they didn't want the Germans to know that they had the radar technology, so they just said that their air pilots were eating a lot of carrots and therefore had good night vision.Bossert: How fascinating! See? I learned something today. I love it!Wong: Vitamin A is very important for the metabolism that's being performed in your retina.Bossert: A, C, E, magnesium, lutein, omega-3s, those are the common ones that we all consider important for optimum eye health.Wong: Zinc.Bossert: Zinc.Wong: All of these vitamins can help halt the progression of macular degeneration, but in the studies it didn't demonstrate any more effect for people like us, that don't have any macular degeneration."Wearing someone else's <keyword id="332" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Glasses">glasses</keyword> will ruin your vision." Wong: If a child, really younger than 13, is wearing someone else's glasses, it can ruin their vision if it is completely off. Because if it's promoting blurry vision, that's going to inhibit the growth of the connections between the eyes and the brain. So kids under 13, they are in a special period of their vision development called the critical period. So, absolutely, I never, ever recommend that children wear anybody else's glasses. But for adults, it's a little bit of a different story.Bossert: With adults, it isn't going to harm your eyes, but it can contribute to eye fatigue, eye strain, headaches. So, yes, we always encourage everybody to get their annual checkups, wear their own glasses, and keep them updated."Sitting too close to the TV is bad for your eyesight."Wong: Typically a parent wants their child to move back from the television, and it's a total myth.Bossert: And it doesn't harm an adult's eyes, either. So, when I have a parent ask me that in the exam, I encourage them to bring them in so that we can actually check their child and just see if it's a habit that the child has or whether they actually have an underlying nearsighted process occurring. If they're sitting too close to the television, then I'm concerned that maybe they've been developing nearsightedness. A young child doesn't know that that's happening.Wong: Just because your parents are nearsighted does not mean 100% you're going to be nearsighted. Several studies have shown that two hours a day of sunlight is helpful at preventing nearsightedness progression. So I always tell my patients to get outdoors, but it's not so easy in other parts of the country or world."If you cross your eyes, they'll stay that way."Wong: Man, that's an oldie but a goodie, I think.Bossert: I remember my grandmother telling me. We were out running around, and kids all playing, and my grandmother saying, "Your eyes are going to stay that way!"Wong: Of course, that is actually my area of specialty, is crossed eyes. That's what I do surgery for, to fix them. And I can tell you, I've never had to operate on anybody who crossed their eyes in intentionally and it got stuck that way. So that's a complete myth. Some people are born with it. We call that congenital esotropia. Typically, if you're born with it, you're born with crossed eyes. Sometimes people develop it because the eye is blind for whatever reason, a separate reason. So if they're young, then the eye tends to cross in with the blind eye. If they're older and they sustain some kind of trauma or injury to the eye to cause it to become blind, then the eye wanders out. 'Cause I've seen so many patients that have come from other eye doctors who have been told for years, No. 1, "Your insurance doesn't cover it." No. 2, "You're too old for this surgery." I've operated on a 95-year-old."Squinting is bad for your eyes."Bossert: We do know that when you squint, you tend to be able to see a little bit better when you're nearsighted. Something called the pinhole effect. So that could be how that myth got started. A parent might see their child squinting and then think that it was the squinting that actually caused the nearsightedness, but it was the opposite. The nearsightedness caused the squinting."You will become dependent on your glasses if you wear them too much."Wong: As someone who now has started to need reading glasses, it is really hard to not believe this myth. I, when I take my reading glasses off, I swear I could see the iPhone way better.Bossert: It's not that the glasses made your vision worse, it's just that your brain got used to having good, sharp vision when y ou put them on. So then when you take them off, your brain's like, "No! I want them back again! I like seeing clearly!" "You can't wear your <keyword id="572717" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="60" keywordseo="contacts">contacts</keyword> if you have astigmatism."Bossert: This is definitely not true. I still hear that in this day and age, despite media campaigns, despite information dissemination. People still believe that if they have astigmatism, they won't be able to wear contact lenses.Wong: Or that they're going to have to be hard contact lenses.Bossert: Yes. Because 30 years ago, it was true, that really the only way that you could mask that astigmatism was to take a hard lens and put it on the eye. But now, daily disposables, I can correct 2.75 units of astigmatism, which is a lot. And in a reusable contact lens, I can go up to 5.75. I even have a brand-new option that if you are over 40 and need reading glasses, if you have astigmatism, you can even wear a bifocal contact lens that corrects for astigmatism now. But they are more difficult to fit because they interact with the eyelid, the shape of the eye. So sometimes we'll have to go through two or three lens designs to find the best one for the patient. But it's pretty rare that we can't find something in this day and age.Wong: Now we're gonna talk about myths we hear all the time."Staring at a screen all day will make your eyesight worse."Bossert: Well, the jury's still a little bit out on this one. Yes, anecdotally, we perceive that people that spend longer hours on a screen are the ones that are more likely to end up nearsighted. But studies don't prove that. And particularly with COVID, with COVID and homeschooling, online schooling, we've seen a huge increase in parents asking us, "Do I need to get my kid blue blockers?" Well, the answer is no. There was a small study that came out and said that, yes, it could help decrease fatigue. But, like any study, we need to take those small studies and turn them into large studies to really truly get facts and figures that hold out for the larger population. So when they redid the study, it came out 50-50. It just really wasn't proven to be statistically significant.Wong: And that's why we always recommend the 20-20-20 rule. People need to take breaks every 20 minutes for 20 seconds where they look at something 20 feet away."Only people with bad eyesight need eye exams."Wong: That is definitely a myth. There's all sorts of conditions that still you have.Bossert: Retinal holes, retinal tears, retinal detachments.Wong: That's another thing, where people always think, mistakenly, that they've had LASIK and as if LASIK has corrected their eyeballs. And it hasn't. It's just made their vision better. But they still have the pathology, the retinal issues, that they still require exams once a year.Bossert: People think that they're going to the eye doctor for their vision. Eye doctors would tell you that you're going to the eye doctor for your eye health. Because if you don't maintain the eye health, then you're not going to be able to maintain good eye vision for the 100 years that you're present on this earth."You won't get glaucoma if you have perfect vision."Wong: Glaucoma is something that's asymptomatic. So you can have perfect 20-20 vision and have the absolute worst end-stage glaucoma. Glaucoma is typically high pressure inside the eye, which causes damage to the optic nerve of the eye.Bossert: And in the beginning, there are no signs whatsoever. So really the only way that we can detect glaucoma is to come in for your annual eye examination. And there are a series of tests that we do in the examination itself that allow us to screen for glaucoma.Wong: So, when you catch glaucoma early, then we can start treatments earlier. And we can't reverse any vision loss or any optic-nerve damage, but we can prevent future damage from happening, or at least slow that progression down. So, we start with eyedrops. We can even do laser treatments, which help with that drainage system and bring the fluid down. And then if we need to, we escalate to glaucoma surgeries.Bossert: Myths from the internet. Let's do those next."It's OK to go swimming or take a shower in contact lenses."Wong: All right, everybody does it. But they really shouldn't. You can really develop blinding infections from tap water and from water that's in hot tubs.Bossert: 'Cause no matter what body of water we're talking about, they all have some bacteria in them, even tap water. Which, that bacteria that bothers our eyes doesn't bother our stomach, yet you don't want to have it in the eye. Yes, do we all wash our face and we get water in? We do. But the critical thing is that this particular bug, called pseudomonas, is small enough that it can embed itself in the pores, in the matrix of the contact lens. And then it gets on your eye, and it sits there, and it sits there, and it sits there, for all those hours that you have it on. And that's when the risk becomes high. 'Cause then you reach up and you rub, you disturb the top layer of cells on the eye. Now there's a little window for that bacteria to walk right into the eye. And unfortunately with pseudomonas, we don't have good treatment modalities. It's very resistant to the antibiotics that we have available to us. "Stress causes eye floaters."Wong: No.Bossert: No. Age causes eye floaters.Wong: And trauma. A floater is just, it's a vitreous detachment. And I tell my patients the vitreous is like Jell-O. When you get older, it starts to liquefy, and you get pockets, and dries up. And that's what causes separates from the inner lining, from the retina. And that then floats all around in your field of vision. But it's actually inside your eye. People think it's a cockroach, they think it's an ant. They try to swat it away. It's not any of those things, but it's an actual change in the anatomy of your eye. It's not caused by stress."LASIK surgery is not safe."Bossert: LASIK surgery is definitely safe. At this point, LASIK surgery's been around ... 35 years now? Yes. If you were to do a Google search that pulled up some of those early results, there were definitely instances where there were cases of blindness. A lot of that was changed by further advancements in the technology, different ways to make the flap. So now, in this day and age, I would say that LASIK surgery is perfectly safe. That said, there is no surgery for any body part that doesn't come with a risk of complications. Like, any body part. You want the doctor that's doing the procedure on a weekly basis. You don't want the doctor that's doing this once every three or four months."Styes are contagious."Bossert: No.Wong: Not at all.Bossert: Styes are not contagious.Wong: And you don't get them from pools, public pools.Bossert: And you don't get them from rubbing your eyes.Wong: Doorknobs.Bossert: Kissing others. No, you don't get them from any of those things. Just like some people can have more oily skin or more dry skin.Wong: I describe it kind of like a pimple.Bossert: The contents in the oil gland can be different consistencies. So if you tend to have that heavier, thicker oil inside the gland itself, then you can be more prone to getting them.Wong: And usually what we want to do is heat. A lot of heat is going to help it drain. Pink eye is contagious. What most people think of as pink eye is viral conjunctivitis. Sometimes it can be bacterial conjunctivitis. Viral conjunctivitis is really, really contagious. That you do get from doorknobs and the surface of objects.Producer: Is it possible to get pink eye if you, like, fart in someone's face?Wong: Is that something people think?Producer: Yeah. Not true.Wong: Not true. What I hope people take away from this video is that they get their annual eye exams, they don't equal good vision with eye health, that they take their contact lenses out when they sleep and they shower, and that they follow the 20-20-20 rule.
