The common ostrich holds a distinction that sounds like a joke but is backed by peer-reviewed anatomy: its eyeballs take up ...

Neurons in the bird eye’s inner retina lack a blood supply. Finding how these neurons function without oxygen reveals a role for an enigmatic eye structure. Read the paper: Oxygen-free metabolism in ...

Your eyes are relatively small parts of your body, but they’re immensely complex. Your eyes are full of dozens of different parts, all of which work together to produce your vision. One of the most ...

Another milestone in eye imaging has been achieved. Polish scientists have developed a technique that enables visualization of the retina and choroid at discrete depths. Modern imaging of eye tissues ...

Scientists have known for years that a lattice of blood vessels nourishes cells in the retina that allow us to see – but it’s been a mystery how the intricate structure is created. Now, researchers at ...

Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be used to generate brain organoids containing an eye structure called the optic cup, according to a new study. The organoids spontaneously developed ...

Modern imaging of eye tissues would not be possible without the use of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scans. This method, one of the world's most popular and accurate diagnostic techniques, has ...
