Emory University and Marcus Autism Center researchers recently learned how eye contact with others when we are very young is related to brain growth. This research has the potential to identify early ...

Prolonged near work in low luminance may accelerate myopia primarily by limiting retinal illumination through sustained accommodative miosis rather than by electronic screens per se.

In a new study from SUNY College of Optometry to be published in Cell Reports, Maharjan et al. demonstrate that human ...

The visual perception of optical stimuli demands high performance from the brain. Every second, the eyes absorb more than 10 million pieces of information and transmit them to the brain via thousands ...

Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain's visual system: one that's responsible for processing color and fine spatial detail, and another that's involved in ...

Vision is one of the most complex functions of our brain and requires a seamless interaction between many different brain structures to decode shapes, colours, depths, and movements and turn them into ...

Perimetry, also known as visual field testing, is an essential diagnostic tool for assessing various ophthalmic conditions, including glaucoma, optic neuropathies, and disorders affecting the retina ...

Just as cartographers have created manageable maps of our planet and enabled travel and development, our brain maps our diverse sensory inputs to our credit-card sized cerebral cortex to enable ...

Many parents believe eye problems only affect adults or can wait until symptoms appear. Experts reveal why these assumptions can silently harm a child’s learning, confidence, and long-term development ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain’s visual system: one that’s responsible for processing color and fine spatial detail, and another that ...
