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. Read More
Researchers identify a novel function for rod photoreceptors in the retina during daylight. Read More
Researchers have successfully developed a method which allows stem cells to spontaneously grow into human retina cells. 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
A new study reports photoreceptors in the retina are sensitive to colors corresponding to their visual pigments. Read More
