Answer to Question 1

Another technology aimed at drug development is called RNA interference or RNAi. RNA stands for ribonucleic acid. It is made in the nucleus of a cell but is not restricted to the nucleus. It is a long, coiled molecule whose purpose is to take the blueprint from deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and build our actual proteins. RNAi is a process that cells use to turn off genes. The attempt at developing drugs based on RNAi is in its infancy and would, if successful, turn off genes associated with disease. Previous attempts at turning off genes with drugs have not succeeded.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Pink eye is a term that refers to conjunctivitis, which is inflammation of the thin, clear membrane (conjunctiva) over the white part of the eye (sclera).
