Müller glial cells (red) span the entire retina. The axons of the retinal ganglion cells (gray) form the optic nerve and transmit the light signal to the brain.

The nerves join to the main optic nerve which passes through a hole in the centre of the retina and connects to the brain. It’s a back-to-front design.

Thin layers of cells in the retina send electrical signals along the optic nerve to the brain, where they're translated into the images you see. Located in the center of the retina is the macula.

Retrospective cross-sectional study. All patients with active ocular toxoplasmosis, consulting in the Uveitis Section of the Ophthalmology Department were selected. The involvement of the optic ...

Drusen can also occur in the optic nerve. Unlike drusen in the retina, optic nerve drusen can cause minor loss of peripheral (side) vision.

It converts light into electrical impulses. Behind the eye, your optic nerve carries these impulses to the brain. The macula is a small extra-sensitive area in the retina that gives you central ...

In macular degeneration, the center part of the retina deteriorates, whereas glaucoma impacts the optic nerve and affects peripheral vision.

There have been tremendous advances in treatment of several significant eye diseases, including macular degeneration, thyroid eye disease, eye infection.

A 7-year-old Arabic girl presented to the emergency department with acute vision loss in the left eye that began that morning.She had a history of type 1 diabetes, strabismus, amblyopia with left ...

Glaucoma is an eye disease caused by elevated pressure inside the eye, resulting in damage to the optic nerve, which interferes with the optic nerve's ability to send images from the eye to the brain.

Closing your right eye, focus on the cross, and move your head slowly forwards and backwards – at some point, the dot will vanish. That’s because your optic nerve joins your retina at that ...
