The eye is like a camera : The front of the eye has a clear window -- the cornea -- that's similar to the cover of a watch. Beneath that we have the pupil, which is surrounded by the iris, which ...

The refractive power of the human eye lens stems from a highly concentrated protein solution. These proteins are created during embryonic development and must then function for a whole life, as ...

The lens of the human eye comprises a highly concentrated protein solution, which lends the lens its great refractive power. Protective proteins prevent these proteins from clumping together ...

Gain-of-function research accounts for just a tiny sliver of the federal research portfolio, and the scientists who spoke with Undark were hard pressed to identify many important discoveries made ...

Researchers from Aarhus University have discovered the function of a special group of nerve cells which are found in the eye and which sense visual movement.

In addition, participants evaluated symptoms of dry eye via the Ocular Surface Disease Index questionnaire, Visual Function Questionnaire 25 (VFQ-25) and the Fatigue Severity Scale, as well as ...
