Science at UWaterloo

60 Seconds of Science! 👁️ Meet Dr. Austin Roorda, a Professor at @uofwaterloo’s School of Optometry and Vision Science!

His lab combines adaptive optics with retinal tracking to target light to individual cone cells in the living human eye, essentially “hacking” the visual system.

By stimulating only M cones, which are most sensitive to green, researchers generated a super-saturated teal colour they called “Olo.”

Stay tuned for more bite-sized science from #UWaterlooSci researchers!
