Scientists have taken a major step toward protecting the very cells that make sharp, colorful vision possible. By testing ...

Even if it’s only dim starlight, that’s enough for your eyes to detect. What’s truly amazing is how little light is required ...

Scientists have identified molecules that can protect the eye’s cone cells from degeneration, a major cause of vision loss. The discovery points to new drug targets—and even uncovers compounds that ...

For the first time, humans might have glimpsed a rainbow of color that lies just beyond our sight – including a "blue-green of unprecedented saturation". You've never seen it before because you can't.

The human eye can see with exceptional detail, allowing people to read fine print, recognize faces across the room, and take ...

The colors we perceive have been dictated by the intricate workings of our eyes. However, a new possibility has emerged: breaking those limits and unlocking a color previously unseen by human eyes.

A team of researchers says there's a new color in the atmosphere. But here's the deal: You can see it only by being shot in the eye with a laser. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, ...

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 ...

Scientists led by Botond Roska at the Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel (IOB) and collaborators have identified genetic pathways and compounds capable of protecting cone ...
