The development and evolution of eyes is an "old problem" in biology, which required a special treatment in Charles Darwin's "Origin of the species" (1882) under the heading of "Difficulties of the theory". Darwin postulated a simple and imperfect eye, as a prototype, which can vary and...
Some hydrozoan and scyphozoan medusae are known to have photoreceptors called eye spots or ocelli. In the hydromedusae the ocellus is situated at the aboral base of each tentacle, while the eye spots in the scyphomedusae are located on the marginal bodies called rhopalium near the bell margin...

We conclude that ERP research can be divided into two largely unconnected categories: (i) identification and localization of photoreceptors and (ii) linkage of non-retinal light reception to behavioral and physiological processes, particularly endocrine systems. However, the emergence of novel gene ...
Millions of people are affected by visual impairment and blindness globally, and the prevalence of vision loss is likely to increase as we are living longer. However, many ocular diseases remain poorly controlled due to lack of proper understanding of th
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, affecting retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and their axons. By 2040, it is likely to affect 110 million people. Neuroinflammation, specifically through the release of proinflammatory cytokines by M1 microglial cells

In addition to this molecular adaptation, for visual sensitivity, the evolution of rod-dominated retina and forward-facing eyes in owls are also considered to be specialized for visual sensitivity6,11. Furthermore, owls are found to have eyes with larger corneal diameters relative to axial lengths...
The visual system of zebrafish Eye structure The visual system of zebrafish is fundamentally similar to human subjects but exhibits some notable structural differences (Figure 1, Table 1).17–27 The lens in zebrafish eyes is spheroid and not ellipsoid as compared with the human eye, and as a ...
