Pursuing a "hunch" in the early 1930s, he discovered the presence of vitamin A in the retina, then went on to determine its presence and complex workings in the visual pigment. Now, he says with undiminished excitement, "we're on the edge of a whole series of new things" in knowledge of the eye, including a better explanation-perhaps eventually even a treatment-for color blindness...
