Vision science addresses the full chain of events that transform light from the environment into meaningful percepts. The optical subsystem of the eye—comprising the cornea, crystalline lens, pupil ...

Human vision relies on photoreceptor cells in the retina that react to visible light and trigger neurons in the optic nerve to send signals to the brain. Degradation of these photoreceptors is the ...

The National Eye Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, is the nation’s leading supporter of vision research. “Having Dr. Chiang speak to VSRC members, who represent every area of UAB’s ...

In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns known as the "cone mosaic." Researchers at the Okinawa Institute of Science ...

The Visual Sciences Training Program (VSTP) is comprised of a multi-disciplinary vision sciences research community at Case Western Reserve University. This program is funded by a T32 Training Grant ...

A research team has recently developed a novel artificial compound eye system that is not only more cost-effective, but demonstrates a sensitivity at least twice that of existing market products in ...

The Vision Sciences Society (VSS) recently held its annual meeting in St. Pete Beach, FL, where hundreds of vision scientists presented their cutting-edge research into the human visual system. Being ...

Researchers identified a retinal disease to evaluate the success of gene and cell replacement therapy. In the retinas of human eyes, the cones are photoreceptor cells responsible for color vision, ...
