Vision is the complex biological process by which the eyes and brain work together to perceive and interpret the surrounding world. Research into vision spans fields like neuroscience, ophthalmology, psychology, and biomedical engineering, covering topics from the molecular mechanisms of photoreception to the development of treatments for conditions like macular degeneration, glaucoma, and retinal diseases. Scientists are also exploring how vision can be restored or enhanced through technologies such as bionic eyes and gene therapies. Discover the latest breakthroughs and insights into how vision works—and how it can be protected and improved—right here.
