Non-image-forming Vision

Non-Image-Forming Vision is a functional category of visual processing that, unlike image-forming vision, mediates intrinsic light detection for subconscious regulatory tasks such as circadian photoentrainment, pupillary light reflex, and melatonin suppression without generating spatial or object representations.
