This is a study of 20 cases of macular migration after operation for retinal detachment. The frequency of pigment deposits on the macula among the total number of operated detachments was 6.4%. The evolution of pigment migration depened on the form and type of the deposits. In some cases the pigment diminished or disappeared. In 6 of the 20 eyes with pigment migration puckering of the macula oc...

The thermo-optical properties of coated surface are important for spacecraft thermal control coatings which depend on the optical properties and structure of the coating material. These coatings control the temperature by their capability of outer energy absorption and its emission. The optical properties of pigment can be improved if the pigment contains a high fraction of voids in its structu...

purpose: true neoplasm (adenocarcinoma) of retinal pigment epithelium (rpe) is very rare since it can be misdiagnosed as intraocular malignant melanoma it is of importance to know the clinical and pathologic aspects of this neoplasm. here, we report a case of adenocarcinoma of rpe. methods: case report. results: a 60-year-old man with progressive loss of the vision of the right eye was enucleat...

PURPOSE Research shows wide variation in macular pigment density between individuals. As are other ocular pigments, this variation may be genetic. To test this hypothesis, the authors measured macular pigment density, serum carotenoid concentrations, and general dietary patterns in 10 pairs of identical twins. METHODS Macular pigment was measured psychophysically by a 1 degree test stimulus. ...

Muscarinic receptors are the predominant cholinergic receptors in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Recently, activation of muscarinic receptors was found to elicit pigment granule dispersion in retinal pigment epithelium isolated from bluegill fish. Pigment granule movement in retinal pigment epithelium is a light-adaptive mechanism in fish. In the present study, we used pharmacologi...
