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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Blinding diseases lead to permanent vision loss by damaging photoreceptor cells, which humans cannot naturally regenerate. While researchers are working on new methods to replace or regenerate these ...

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 ...
