These lizards may hold the key to improving vision aids for humans. They’re one of the few animals that can see color at night, and their eyesight is also 350 times more sensitive than humans’. Researchers from Lund University found that geckos only have a higher density of cones in their retina, which means they can detect more specific light wavelengths. Researchers are hopeful this can improve camera lenses as well as the development of multifocal contact lenses in the future.
