Hereditary degeneration of the macula.
DEGENERATIONS of the retina have been known for many years and a variety of names has been applied to the various forms based in large part either on the ophthalmoscopic appearance of these lesions or on the age and mode of onset. Such terms as tapeto-retinal degeneration, primary degeneration, abiotrophy, progressive atrophy, and retinal dystrophy have been used interchangeably. However, as th...
متن کاملVisual function in myopia without central retinal degeneration.
Is there an additional loss of visual function in myopia beyond that attributable to refractive error and blur of the retinal image? Is there a component ofvisual loss caused by retinal changes? It is well known that in degenerative myopia, the pathological changes include retinal atrophy and may be associated with abnormalities of the electro-retinogram and dark adaptation.1 The paper by Manty...
متن کاملChanges in visual function and thickness of macula after photodynamic therapy for age-related macular degeneration
PURPOSE To determine the correlation between the changes in the central retinal sensitivity and the changes in the foveal thickness (FT) after photodynamic therapy (PDT) for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). METHODS Nineteen eyes of 19 patients with choroidal neovasularizations (CNVs) secondary to AMD were studied. The pretreatment values of the central retinal sensitivity determined by...
متن کاملStudies of visual function and its decay in mice with hereditary retinal degeneration.
Functional implications of mouse hereditary retinal degeneration have been studied at the level of the superior colliculus and visual cortex in the C57BL/6J-le rd strain. On autoradiography at a light-microscopic level, following eye injection with radioactive compounds, central visual structures appeared normal. A slight reduction in ipsilateral retinal projection was probably related to reduc...
متن کاملPrimary visual cortical remapping in patients with inherited peripheral retinal degeneration
Human studies addressing the long-term effects of peripheral retinal degeneration on visual cortical function and structure are scarce. Here we investigated this question in patients with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), a genetic condition leading to peripheral visual degeneration. We acquired functional and anatomical magnetic resonance data from thirteen patients with different levels of visual lo...
