The Eye – Fascination Vision

PLAY


In a 214° field of peripheral eyesight, our eyes are hit by countless visual impressions.

Many cannot imagine life without vision and base their actions mainly on perception with this sense. As life expectancy increases, the power of sight is dwindling and diseases that threaten blindness are becoming more and more likely for everyone.

With modern knowledge, research is fighting against vision loss and is finding enhancements for future vision. With red light glasses, contact lenses for presbyopia or bionic chip implants, the research approaches in this film show how people's sight can be maintained or regained using complex but also very simple means.
