The stroma is one of the 5 layers of the cornea that comprises more than 90% of the corneal thickness, and is the most important layer for the transparency of cornea and refractive function critical for vision. Any significant...
Achromatopsia is an inherited retinal disease characterized by loss of cone photoreceptor function. Day blind CNGA3 mutant Improved Awassi sheep provide a large animal model for achromatopsia. This study measured refractive...
Here we describe the neurodevelopmental outcomes of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants (birth weight ≤1500 g) at 3 years of age in the Neonatal Research Network of Japan (NRNJ) database in the past decade and review the...
Although often considered a non-dominant sense for spatial perception, chemosensory perception can be used to localize the source of an event and potentially help us navigate through our environment. Would blind people who lack...
Retrospectively obvious events are frequently missed when attention is engaged in another task-a phenomenon known as inattentional blindness. Although the task characteristics that predict inattentional blindness rates are...
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness, but its early symptoms are not obvious and are easily overlooked, so early screening for glaucoma is particularly important. The cup to disc ratio is an important...
Oxidative stress-associated retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell death is critically implicated in the pathogenesis of visual dysfunction and blindness of retinal degenerative diseases. Sodium iodate (NaIO) is an oxidative...
The aim of this review, as well as the case report, is to become familiar with the syndrome, although it is not very common, but may still be encountered by an ophthalmologist during clinical practice. It is also interesting to...
