A new study reports photoreceptors in the retina are sensitive to colors corresponding to their visual pigments. Read More
A new study reports the retinas from our earliest vertebrate ancestors had cone like receptors, allowing them to see both in daylight and at night. Read More
Researchers have discovered a mechanism of color vision that could answer long standing questions, such as why a dimly lit night sky has a bluish cast. Read More
Researchers have successfully developed a method which allows stem cells to spontaneously grow into human retina cells. Read More
Researchers identify a novel function for rod photoreceptors in the retina during daylight. Read More
A team of University of California, Berkeley, scientists in collaboration with researchers at the University of Munich and University of Washington, in Seattle, has discovered a chemical that temporarily restores some vision to blind mice, and is working on an improved compound that may someday allow people with degenerative blindness to see again.
