              			For $C^1$-smooth strictly convex oval, the class of visibility curves is introduced. The equivalence of four definitions of this class of curves is proved, and the possible types of the shortest curves of visibility are
studied. Several exstremal problems for the curve of visibility of the circle are solved.
