The ways in which lost vision might be restored are coming into focus as researchers move closer to recreating the eye’s most complex structure — the retina — in the laboratory. The retina comprises a ...

Vision scientists report that dogs have an area of their retina that strongly resembles the human fovea. What's more, this retinal region is susceptible to genetic blinding diseases in dogs just as it ...

MADISON -- For the first time, scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have made early retina structures containing proliferating neuroretinal progenitor cells using induced pluripotent stem ...

Another milestone in eye imaging has been achieved. Polish scientists have developed a technique that enables visualization of the retina and choroid at discrete depths. Modern imaging of eye tissues ...

Your eyes are relatively small parts of your body, but they’re immensely complex. Your eyes are full of dozens of different parts, all of which work together to produce your vision. One of the most ...

Q: When first learning about genetics, we’re taught that blue eyes are recessive and brown is dominant, but what about green eyes? Also, what are the squiggly lines in light-colored eyes? — Tim Patten ...

Found only in the retinas of humans and other primates, the fovea is responsible for visual experiences that are rich in colorful, spatial detail. Some reasons behind the fovea's unusual perceptual ...
