The eye is a complex sensory organ, which enables visual perception
of the world. Thus the eye has several tissues that do different
tasks. One of the most basic aspects of eye function is the
sensitivity of cells to light and its transduction though the optic
nerve to the brain. Different organisms use different ways to achieve
these tasks. In this sense, eye function becomes a very important
evolutionary aspect as well. This book presents the different animal
models that are commonly used for eye research and their uniqueness
in evaluating different aspects of eye development, evolution,
physiology and disease.* Presents information on the major animal
models used in eye research including invertebrates and vertebrates*
Provides researchers with information needed to choose between model
organisms* Includes an introductory chapter on the different types of
eyes, stressing possible common molecular machinery
