approach to our most important sensory system. The book
successfully combines basics in vision sciences with recent
developments from different areas such as neuroscience, biophysics,
sensory psychology and philosophy. Originally published in 1998
this edition has been extensively revised and updated to include
new chapters on clinical problems and eye diseases, low vision
rehabilitation and the basic molecular biology and genetics of
colour vision.
* Takes a broad interdisciplinary approach combining basics in
