Retinal prostheses in degenerative retinal diseases
Journal of the Chinese Medical Association, 2015 Degenerative retinal diseases may lead to significant loss of vision. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and retinitis pigmentosa (RP), which eventually affect the photoreceptors, are the two most common retinal degenerative diseases. Once the photoreceptorcells are lost, there are no known effective therapies for AMD or RP.

Metabolomics in Retinal Diseases: An Update [PDF]
Biology, 2021 Retinal diseases are a leading cause of visual loss and blindness, affecting a significant proportion of the population worldwide and having a detrimental impact on quality of life, with consequent economic burden. The retina is highly metabolically active, and a number of retinal diseases are associated with metabolic dysfunction. To better understand

The Role of Vitamin A in Retinal Diseases [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 Vitamin A is an essential fat-soluble vitamin that occurs in various chemical forms. It is essential for several physiological processes. Either hyper- or hypovitaminosis can be harmful. One of the most important vitamin A functions is its involvement in visual phototransduction, where it serves as the crucial part of photopigment, the first molecule ...

Microperimetry in Retinal Diseases
Asia-Pacific Journal of Ophthalmology, 2023 Retinal microperimetry (MP) is a procedure that assesses the retinal sensitivity while the fundus is directly observed, and an eye tracker system is active to compensate for involuntary eye movements during testing. With this system, the sensitivity of a small locus can be accurately determined, and it has become an established ophthalmic test for ...
