As we stand on the shoulders of scientific giants like Hartridge, we continue to explore the wonders of vision and deepen our appreciation for the gift of sight.## ## Overview: In this groundbreaking book, Hamilton Hartridge explores the intricacies of vision from a physiological perspective. As our understanding of the human visual system deepens, Hartridge sheds light on recent discoveries and advancements that shape our comprehension of how we perceive the world around us.## ## Key Topics Covered: 1. Human Color Perception: Hartridge dedicates a significant portion of the book to unravelling the mysteries of colour vision. He discusses the three primary colour receptors (cones) in the retina and their role in perceiving different wavelengths of light. Additionally, he delves into the phenomenon of colour blindness and its underlying mechanism: 2. Visual Pathways and Neural Processing: The book delves into the neural pathways responsible for transmitting visual information from the retina to the brain. Hartridge elucidates how the visual cortex processes these signals, leading to our perception of shapes, motion, and depth: 3. Adaptation and Sensitivity: Hartridge explores how our visual system adapts to varying light conditions. From dark adaptation to the exquisite sensitivity of our eyes, he provides insights into the remarkable flexibility of our visual apparatus: Visual Disorders and Abnormalities: Drawing on clinical observations and research, Hartridge discusses common visual disorders such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. He also touches upon retinal diseases and their impact on vision: 5. Visual Perception in Health and Disease: The book bridges the gap between physiology and clinical practice. Hartridge emphasises the importance of understanding vision in healthy individuals and patients with visual impairments.## ## Legacy and Influence: "Recent Advances in the Physiology of Vision" has left an indelible mark on ophthalmology and vision science. Researchers, clinicians, and students continue to draw inspiration from hartridge's work, building upon his foundational insights.## ## INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note. FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY.
