A new study reports photoreceptors in the retina are sensitive to colors corresponding to their visual pigments.
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.
Researchers have successfully developed a method which allows stem cells to spontaneously grow into human retina cells.
Researchers identify a novel function for rod photoreceptors in the retina during daylight.
New research reveals the key chemical process that corrects for potential visual errors in low-light conditions. Understanding this fundamental step could lead to new treatments for visual deficits, or might one day boost normal night vision to new levels.
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.
Adaptive optics technology likely to spur sight-saving interventions, usher in new era of eye disease research, diagnosis and treatment Scientists...
Mice without rods and cones were able to use ipRGCs to detect light and possibly form low acuity images.
