There was a decrease in the cone density after RD with an estimated loss of one-third of the cones. Postoperative visual acuity was highly correlated with the cone density. AO may be a valuable prognostic tool after RD surgery.
Overall, the test-retest variability of RTx-1 and its software was good in normal human eyes. Further studies in the normal clinical setting are mandatory.
Vitreous concentrations of MPs (mainly derived from photoreceptor cells) are higher after rhegmatogenous RD and found to be correlated with soluble proinflammatory factors.
A moderate perifoveal cone loss occurs with age. The precise consequences of these findings on visual function should be investigated. In addition to a better understanding of normal retinal anatomy, these results could act as a comparative database for further studies on normal and diseased retinas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
