Technology used by UC Berkeley researchers to see a new color may allow for development of new ways to see and research eye diseases. The machine, dubbed Oz, was previously used to shoot lasers into ...

Using human retinas grown in a petri dish, researchers have discovered how an offshoot of vitamin A generates the specialized cells that enable people to see millions of colors, an ability that dogs, ...

The human eye can see with exceptional detail, allowing people to read fine print, recognize faces across the room, and take in the features in nature. Scientists have long debated how this sharp ...

In the retinas of human eyes, the cones are photoreceptor cells responsible for color vision, daylight vision, and the perception of small details. As vision scientists from the Division of ...

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, ...
