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 ...

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, ...

Researchers have discovered a way to revitalize cone receptors that have deteriorated as a result of retinitis pigmentosa. Working with animal models, researchers have discovered that replenishing ...
