Vision is about how individuals see. More specifically, it covers any scientific field that investigates how individuals (such as humans, other primates, other mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish, other animals including arthropods, molluscs, and coelenterates, and machines) use light to gain information about their environments. Fields include, but are not limited to, optics, perception, psychophysics, electrophysiology, neurophysiology, biochemistry, genetics, information processing, computer science, engineering, ophthalmology, and optometry. Vision also covers fields investigating how seeing changes within individuals including from growth and development, from aging, and from disease including blindness.
