This paper analyzes the development of an interdisciplinary field of research on the physiology of vision during the early Soviet decades, with a particular emphasis on the scientific and institutional activities of P. P. Lazarev, S. I. Vavilov, L. A. Orbeli and their followers. Social and political factors strongly influenced the status of the field, as well as its structure and results. The introduction of physical, chemical, and physiological approaches to the study of vision helped in the development of a better understanding of processes in the retina and in the advancement towards a new stage in theoretical and practical work.
