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 ...

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 ...

The VSRC has the specific goal of creating an internationally recognized center of excellence in vision science, which, by its research and related activities, will constitute a major resource for the ...

The human eye can see with exceptional detail, allowing people to read fine print, recognize faces across the room and take in the features in nature. Scientists have long debated how this sharp ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 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 ...
