In this eye-opening episode, we welcome Dr. Austin Roorda—visionary researcher, inventor, and professor—who takes us deep into the microscopic world of human vision. From mapping the trichromatic cone mosaic to pioneering adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, Dr. Roorda has revolutionized how we understand the eye.👁️ Discover:
How stimulating a single cone can create surreal color experiences
The science behind light damage and flicker sensitivity
Why blue light might be more harmful than we think
The future of vision restoration and gene therapy
What it means to be a tetrachromat—and how it could unlock new colors
🌌 Plus, we explore the beauty of seeing in true darkness, the risks of over-illumination, and how lighting design might be impacting our health more than we realize.#VisionScience #DrAustinRoorda #RestoringDarkness #LightingDesign #BlueLightHazards #Tetrachromacy #Optics #EyeHealth #DarkSky #SoftLights #PodcastConnect with Dr. Roorda: www.linkedin.com/in/austin-roorda-8527aa61 Bluesky: @roordalab.bsky.social http://roorda.vision.berkeley.edu https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/04/23/new-color-what-is-olo/83229986007   Sponsor: Tesla Induction Lighting, teslalightingco.com
