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 ...

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 ...

The National Eye Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, is the nation’s leading supporter of vision research. “Having Dr. Chiang speak to VSRC members, who represent every area of UAB’s ...

Vision Science Graduate Program students, each of whom has prior academic and/or professional success, are driven by the desire to make discoveries that could impact humanity. During the 2022-2023 ...

Scientists at UC Irvine have found a way to potentially reverse age-related vision loss by targeting the ELOVL2 “aging gene” and restoring vital fatty acids in the retina. Their experiments in mice ...

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, ...

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 ...

In a world first, Apple’s commercially lackluster Vision Pro virtual reality headset was successfully used to help perform a cataract surgery. New England-based surgeon Dr. Eric Rosenberg of SightMD ...
