Introduction

Vision science is the scientific study of vision. Vision science encompasses all studies of vision, such as how human and non-human organisms’ process visual information, how conscious visual perception works in humans, how to exploit visual perception for effective communication, and how artificial systems can do the same tasks.

Vision science overlaps with or encompasses disciplines such as ophthalmology and optometry, neuroscience(s), psychology (particularly sensation and perception psychology, cognitive psychology, linguistics, biopsychology, psychophysics, and neuropsychology), physics (particularly optics), ethology, and computer science (particularly computer vision, artificial intelligence, and computer graphics), as well as other engineering related areas such as data visualization, user interface design, and human factors and ergonomics. Below is a list of pertinent journals.

Visual perception

Visual perception is the ability to interpret the surrounding environment using light in the visible spectrum reflected by the objects in the environment. This is different from visual acuity, which refers to how clearly a person sees (for example "20/20 vision"). A person can have problems with visual perceptual processing even if he/she has 20/20 vision.

The resulting perception is also known as visual perception, eyesight, sight, or vision. The various physiological components involved in vision are referred to collectively as the visual system and are the focus of much research in the fields of Vision Science. The major problem in visual perception is that what people see is not simply a translation of retinal stimuli. Thus people interested in perception have long struggled to explain what visual processing does to create what is actually seen.

Vision requires distilling foreground from background, recognizing objects presented in a wide range of orientations, and accurately interpreting spatial cues. The neural mechanisms of visual perception offer insight into how the brain handles such computationally complex situations. Visual perception begins as soon as the eye focuses light onto the retina, where it is absorbed by a layer of photoreceptor cells.

These cells convert light into electrochemical signals and are divided into two types, rods and cones, named for their shape. Rod cells are responsible for our night vision and respond well to dim light. Cone cells are concentrated in the central region of the retina called the fovea; they are responsible for high acuity tasks like reading, and also for color vision.

Stages of Perception

Perception is the process by which people are aware of objects and events in the external world. Perception occurs in five stages: Stimulation: The world is full of stimuli that can attract our attention through various senses. Stimulation includes selective attention and selective exposure. Organization - The capacity to identify and recognize objects and events is crucial for normal perception. Interpretation/Evaluation: This stage is the process of interpreting stimuli according to an individual’s experiences, needs, wants, values, expectations, physical and emotional state, gender and beliefs based on an individual’s rules, schemata and scripts. Memory: It is the storage of both perception and interpretation/evaluation that are kept according to scripts and schemas. Recall: After some time, an individual can access their stored memories to recall certain information.

The Ophthalmologist: Clinical and Therapeutic Journal invites different types of articles including original research article, review articles, short note communications, case reports, Editorials, letters to the Editors and expert opinions & commentaries from different regions for publication. A standard editorial manager system is utilized for manuscript submission, review, editorial processing and tracking which can be securely accessed by the authors, reviewers and editors for monitoring and tracking the article processing.

Manuscripts can be uploaded directly through mail id: ophthalmologist@eclinicalsci.com
