Two factors are crucial when a peregrine falcon bears down on its prey at a speed of more than 350 kilometers per hour

Less than 10 percent of neurons in the mouse visual system behave the way scientists thought most such cells work to perceive the outside world

Indiana University optometry researchers took the first undistorted images of the eye's trabecular meshwork using methods originally developed to stop stars from appearing to twinkle

By decoding the genetic mechanisms that control the neurons of the visual system, researchers at UNIGE are unveiling the first steps in the construction of vision, paving the way for regenerative eye medicine

Why do we lose the "superior" ability to perceive large objects' motion during development?

New technology that recreates some of the complexity of the human retina may help scientists study eye disease and screen for drug side effects that harm the eye

Scientists have used nanoparticles to confer a real superpower on ordinary mice: the ability to see near-infrared light

The technology allows animals to see light beyond the visible spectrum, into the range of infrared light

The treatment is an exciting new approach in which a virus, similar to the common cold, but altered in the lab so that it is unable to cause disease, is used as a carrier for a gene and is injected into the eye

After three patients were blinded following a treatment marketed as a stem cell clinical trial, Stanford ophthalmologist Jeffrey Goldberg calls for increased patient education and regulation
