Description
The eye is a complex sensory organ, which enables visual perception of the world. Thus the eye has several tissues that do different tasks.
One of the most basic aspects of eye function is the sensitivity of cells to light and its transduction though the optic nerve to the
brain. Different organisms use different ways to achieve these tasks. In this sense, eye function becomes a very important evolutionary
aspect as well. This book presents the different animal models that are commonly used for eye research and their uniqueness in evaluating
different aspects of eye development, evolution, physiology and disease.
Audience:
Researchers working at all different aspects of eye development, evolution, function and physiology, as well as clinicians, opthalmologists involved in research.
