The eyes of some marine-dwelling creatures have evolved to act like a 'depth gauge', allowing these creatures to swim in the open ocean at a certain depth. The eyes of some marine-dwelling creatures ...

To investigate the possible roles of retinal photoreceptors in macular oedema and retinal angiogenesis with particular reference to the mode of action of laser therapy. (i) Studies in rats made ...

Tens of millions of people worldwide are affected by diseases like macular degeneration or have had accidents that permanently damage the light-sensitive photoreceptors within their retinas that ...
