Share on Pinterest New research involving cones and rods in the retina could lead to new treatments for vision loss. Gregory Adams/Getty Images Cone photoreceptors in retinal degeneration have been ...

We measured monocular visual function—high-contrast visual acuity (HC-VA), central visual fields (mean sensitivity, MS), colour vision (desaturated Panel D-15), Pelli–Robson (P–R), and cone- and ...

New research in mice suggests that 'dormant' cone photoreceptors in the degenerating retina are not dormant at all, but continue to function, producing responses to light and driving retinal activity ...

Rod cells and cone cells, the ones in our eyes that help us see, have been detected in a fossil fish at least 300 million years old, showing such cells evolved at least that long ago -- and that ...

Scientists have discovered a fossilized fish so well preserved that the rods and cones in its 300-million-year-old eyeballs are still visible under a scanning electron microscope. It is the first time ...

Researchers have developed a new instrument that has, for the first time, measured tiny light-evoked deformations in individual rods and cones in a living human eye. The new approach could one day ...

KUMAMOTO, Japan, Dec. 24 (UPI) --Rods and cones, the two main photoreceptor cells, are vital to human sight -- converting visible electromagnetic radiation into information our brains can use. And it ...

Scientists have discovered rod and cone cells while examining the fossil of 300-million-year-old fish eyes. The findings suggest that the fish likely possessed color vision. Scientists found fossil of ...

Japanese scientists are shedding new light on the importance of light-sensing cells in the retina that process visual information. The researchers isolated the functions of melanopsin cells and ...
