摘要：

Polyenes are important for vision in all sighted species. The visual pigments (the rhodopsins) all use ll-cis-retinal as the chromophore; some possible reasons for the importance of this isomer are now emerging. New results on the involvement of xanthophils in the maintenance of the retina are also discussed.
