Photopic vision: Vision under well-lit conditions which provides for color perception,and which functions primarily due to cone cells in the eye.
Scotopic vision: Monochromatic vision in very low light which functions primarily due to rod cells in the eye.

Part of the eye responsible for night vission?
The photoreceptors commonly referred to as "Rods", which are found in the retina, are responsible for night vision. (scotopic vision) "Cones" are responsible for colored vision with brighter light conditions. (photopic vision)
What are central vision fringe vision and peripheral vision?
Central vision refers to when eyes are focused straight ahead. Peripheral vision refers to vision that occurs outside your central sight of vision. Fringe vision refers to the edge of your peripheral vision.
What vision is a narrow field of vision?
Tunnel vision.
When was Cables' Vision created?
Cables' Vision was created in 1980.
What are the two types of vision?
Convex and Concave are the two types of lenses.

What can you do if you have Scotopic vision?
See in the dark

Photoreceptor that is not used for color vision?
Rods are the photoreceptors that are not used in color vision. Rods are much more plentiful than the cones, and much more sensitive, they are responsible for scotopic vision.

Do cones function in bright light?
Cones are responsible for photopic vision, meaning they are sensitive to color and provide all high definition vision. They are specifically sensitive to 3 colors of light; Red Green and Blue.
What is night blindness caused by?
night blindness is particularly caused by deficiency of vitamin A (retinol)Our eyes contain 2 photosensitive cellsrods-for scotopic vision i.e., for night vision contain pigment rodopsincones-for photopic vision i.e, to see colours in presence of light contain pigment ionopsinrodopsin pigment contain retinal, an aldehyde of retinol(vitamin A)Therefore deficiency of vitamin A effects scotopic vision and is known as night blindness
How are rods and cones similar?
In the human eye, cones look like a cone, while rods look like short rods. Rods are connected in "parallel", and they detect minimal amounts of light. Cones tend towards a "serial" transmission to the nervous system. Cones also come in various types -- red detecting, green detecting, or blue detecting -- so they enable color vision. Books have been written on this subject, and I wrote a short paragraph.
Why do pilots use red glasses?
For maximum utilization of scotopic vision( a vision of eye in low light), 20 to 30 minutes in total darkness are required to attain satisfactory retinal dark adaptation. An alternative is to have the aircrew member wear red goggles for 20 to 30 minutes before flying. When worn in normal illumination, red goggles will not interfere significantly with the ability to read most maps, charts, manuals, etc., as long as the printing is not in red ink. Red goggles block all light except red, which enhances rod dark adaptation because red light does not stimulate the scotopic system.
What is the difference between rabbit eye and human eye?
The differences between the rabbit eye revolve around the sharp vision and the binocular vision present in humans. Rabbits do not have the vivid vision that humans do , not only because they do not have many cones but their fovea contains less cones: which provide color and sharp vision. additionaly, because rabbits have a vast range of vision or field of vision, they are unable to see in front of their eyes because unlike us they have 360 degrees of vision. Rabbits are farsighted : meaning their vision is not ornamental up close. Humans have binocualr vision which allows us to see straight with a 180 degree field of vision. However the rabbits sense of smell an hearing allows it survive in the wild.Finally rabbits have the ability to limitedly differenciate between color wavelenghts
What are the differences between an entrepreneur and a business manager?
An entrepreneur is a person with the 'never-diminishing' vision who will become a business owner… ultimately, not the other way around!
Explain differences between binocular and panoramic vision?
Binocular vision would be where your eyes are focused on a certain area. Panoramic vision is where you would see easily more than the normal specific area. You know what peripheral vision is? Imagine looking at something, and seeing something move out of the corner of your eye, but you don't have to move you eyes to identify it because you can see it as perfectly as what you're looking at in the first place. That would be panoramic vision.
