According to University of York researchers, the ability to read fine print may be enhanced following exposure to a common visual illusion. The researchers found visual acuity may be enhanced by the expanding motion aftereffect optical illusion.

A new study could help explain why our peripheral vision is so poor.
A new study links a person's visual long term memory to tracking how an object moves.
New research could help develop new ways for the visually impaired to navigate everyday life.
A new study reveals humans and monkeys perceive visual illusions the same way.
Researchers have successfully developed a method which allows stem cells to spontaneously grow into human retina cells.
Retinal ganglion cell survival following a stroke depends on whether the pathway to the primary visual area remains active. Cells connected to inactive areas of the visual cortex suffer atrophy and degenerate, leading to permanent visual impairment.
Researchers use gene editing to reverse cell degeneration and restore vision in mouse models of retinitis pigmentosa.
Researchers report facial recognition varies by where they appear in the visual field, and this variability is reduces through learning familiar faces via social interactions. The study reports repeated social interactions tune visual neurons in the face processing network to enable consistent and rapid rapid recognition of familiar faces.
Researchers report the thalamus plays a critical role in regulating how the brain learns to integrate binocular input during development.
