Researchers at University College Dublin (UCD) have discovered that a mutation in a gene called emc1 causes major vision ...

GA management involves identifying at-risk patients, assessing visual function, and referring for treatment when necessary.

Driving always presents risks, but after dark it's harder to see potential hazards. Plus, the glow of headlights and brake ...

The light-detecting part of the retina is formed of rod and cone photoreceptor cells that are responsible for everything we see. The lower third of this image depicts the layer of blood vessels ...

especially in the superficial layer and the nerve fiber layer (RNFL), along with a thinner superficial layer, RNFL and retina. More alterations were proved in nasal peripapillary sectors in high ...

Based on in situ hybridization and hypothyroid studies, thyroid hormone appears to target photoreceptor development. The hormone may be acting in at least two ways. It could instruct neuronal ...

The retina is a thin layer of light-sensitive tissue that lines the back of the eye ... The retina processes light through light-sensitive cells called photoreceptor cells. These cells detect light ...

and outer nuclear layer (ONL) were obtained using optical coherence tomography. Correlation and regression analyses assessed the relationships between MNV features and photoreceptor integrity. Results ...

Like a complex network of highways, the retinal microcirculation is a hidden system that powers the life of the eye – delivering oxygen, nourishing tissues, and allowing cells to function ...

“Mike’s technique allows us to image a precise layer of the retina,” Lazzi said. “We can capture the entire image of, say, all the ganglion cells, so there’s no confusion between ...
