I review the normal development of the optic nerve and chiasm and the main developmental disorders: Optic Nerve Aplasia, Optic Nerve Hypoplasia and Achiasmia.

Macular degeneration. Age-related dry macular degeneration. AMD. Cross section of human eye. Central vision loss. Close-up of a macula, optic disc, choroid, retina, sclera, and fovea. Vector poster ...

Retinal diseases can cause irreversible vision loss if not detected in time. Over the past few decades, medical technology.

Conclusion: Compared to healthy children, obese children had greater binocular retinal nerve fiber layer thickness asymmetry and thinner retinal nerve fiber and ganglion cell-inner plexiform layers in ...

Recent research introduces a soft, injectable material designed for use in the eye to help protect and support damaged ...

Zones There are three zones that describe the extent of retinal vascular development. Zone 1 is the area immediately surrounding the optic nerve and macula, extending from the disk to twice the ...

The cause is believed to be capillary dropout in the retina. [77] The fibrous tissue that accompanies neovascularization may contract, causing ectropion uveae or peripheral anterior synechia.

Macular edema is an eye condition that occurs when fluids builds up in the macula. Learn about symptoms of the condition, causes, treatment options, and more.

We describe an automated method to locate the optic nerve in images of the ocular fundus. Our method uses a novel algorithm we call fuzzy convergence to determine the origination of the blood vessel ...

A new study led by researchers at National Taiwan University (NTU) reveals that subtle differences in retinal thickness between the eyes—known as inter-eye retinal asymmetry—may serve as an early and ...

Congenital pits of the optic nerve head result from an imperfect closure of the superior edge of the embryonic fissure. An unequal growth on both sides causes a delayed closure of the fissure at ...

Semaglutide use may be increasing worldwide rates of ischemic optic neuropathy and retinal adverse events, a study suggests.
