Are these newly found rare cells a missing link in color perception?
Rochester researchers harnessed adaptive optics to gain insight into the complex workings of the retina and its role in processing color.
Small, involuntary eye movements help us see a stable world
“Fixational” eye movements play a larger role in vision than previously thought, according to Rochester researchers.

A cure for blindness? A next-generation solar concentrator?
Two new Rochester fellows of the National Academy of Inventors take aim at transformative discoveries in the world of optics.
Brief period of ‘blindness’ is essential for vision
Rochester vision scientists uncover new information about the role of tiny “fixational” eye movements in enabling us to see clearly.
National grant supports ‘audacious goal’ to restore vision after blindness
Rochester ophthalmology professor Juliette McGregor is leading a National Eye Institute–funded project to test therapies that regenerate the eye’s retina.
A look back—and ahead—at an interdisciplinary hub for vision research
For nearly 60 years, the University’s Center for Visual Science has been transforming our understanding of vision and how we treat vision disorders.
First-ever lab model of human eye offers hope for macular degeneration patients
Rochester researchers’ breakthrough could lead to patient-specific treatments for age-related macular degeneration, which leads to a loss of central vision.
