  2. Infant visual development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infant_visual_development

    The strength of eye muscle control is positively correlated to achieve depth perception. Human eyes are formed in such a way that each eye reflects a stimulus at a slightly different angle thereby producing two images that are processed in the brain. These images provide the essential visual information regarding 3D features of the external world.

  3. Evolution of the eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_the_eye

    Diverse eyes are known from the Burgess shale of the Middle Cambrian, and from the slightly older Emu Bay Shale. [2] Eyes vary in their visual acuity, the range of wavelengths they can detect, their sensitivity in no light, their ability to detect motion or to resolve objects, and whether they can discriminate colours.

  4. Eye development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_development

    Several layers such as the neural tube, neural crest, surface ectoderm, and mesoderm contribute to the development of the eye. [2] [3] [4] Eye development is initiated by the master control gene PAX6, a homeobox gene with known homologues in humans (aniridia), mice (small eye), and Drosophila (eyeless). The PAX6 gene locus is a transcription ...

  5. Human eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_eye

    Humans have two eyes, situated on the left and the right of the face. The eyes sit in bony cavities called the orbits, in the skull. There are six extraocular muscles that control eye movements. The front visible part of the eye is made up of the whitish sclera, a coloured iris, and the pupil. A thin layer called the conjunctiva sits on top of ...

  6. Visual acuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_acuity

    Distant visual acuity of count fingers and 6/17 with pinhole in the left eye will be: DscOS CF PH 6/17. Near visual acuity of 6/8 with pinhole remaining at 6/8 in both eyes with spectacles will be: NccOU 6/8 PH 6/8. "Dynamic visual acuity" defines the ability of the eye to visually discern fine detail in a moving object.

  7. Visual system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_system

    The visual system is the physiological basis of visual perception (the ability to detect and process light).The system detects, transduces and interprets information concerning light within the visible range to construct an image and build a mental model of the surrounding environment.

  8. Depth perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_perception

    Depth perception is the ability to perceive distance to objects in the world using the visual system and visual perception. It is a major factor in perceiving the world in three dimensions . Depth sensation is the corresponding term for non-human animals, since although it is known that they can sense the distance of an object, it is not known ...

  9. Video-oculography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video-oculography

    VOG techniques have been put to use in a wide field of scientific research related to visual development and cognitive science as well as to pathologies of the eyes and of the visual system. [citation needed] For example, miniaturized ocular-videography systems are used to analyze eye movements in freely moving rodents. [4]
