BIOL 70 Biologic Lessons of the Eye

The eye is unique. Unlike organs hidden deep within the body the transparent nature of the visual axis permits the direct observation of its living tissues without invasive surgery or imaging. Accordingly, the study of vision has yielded many far-reaching biologic insights which will be explored in this course. The course will conclude with a 10-14 day visit to Aravind Eye Hospital in Tamilnadu to present research and observe the delivery of eye care in India.
