Development of Multielectrode Electroretinography (meERG) for Human Clinical Use
… (full-field ERG) or are restricted to central vision (multi-focal ERG). Prior animal studies have demonstrated that multielectrode electroretinography (meERG), which records simultaneous ERG waveforms from multiple corneal locations, can reveal localized deficits in retinal function. …

Evaluating The Estimation of Neuronal Loss in Glaucoma
PURPOSE: In vivo imaging with optical coherence tomography (OCT) is widely used in the diagnosis and monitoring of glaucoma and other optic neuropathies. With spectral domain OCT (SD OCT), cross-sectional images of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), optic nerve head (ONH) and the macula can be …

Characterizing Corneal Biomechanical Properties Using Dynamic Optical Coherence Elastography
Purpose: Optical coherence elastography (OCE) quantifies the tissue’s biomechanical properties through mechanical loading and imaging the tissue response using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Current techniques evaluating corneal stiffness do not account for the influence of key physiological …

Spatial summation in the dark-adapted fovea
Purpose: Application of adaptive optics to vision science creates the potential to probe the link between the retinal mosaic and visual perception. However, cellular level interrogation requires small, threshold stimuli and an implicit detection model. Unfortunately the parameters governing …

Towards Mammalian Retinal Regeneration: Cell Signaling in Re-Differentiating Mouse Müller Glia and Transcriptional Regulation of the Axonal Guidance Receptor EPHA5
Damage to the neural retina or optic nerve results in irreversible blindness because the mammalian retina cannot regenerate. For stem cell therapies to regenerate a functional retina, multiple challenges must be overcome. These include identification of stem cell sources, targeted differentiation …

Influence of Light Exposure on the Melanopsin Driven Pupil Response and Circadian Rhythm
Exposure to increasing amounts of artificial light during the night may contribute to the high prevalence of reported sleep dysfunction. Release of the sleep hormone melatonin is mediated by the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs). ipRGCs signal environmental light, with …

Colour and Colour Vision in Late Nineteenth Century British Sciences
… sources to explore the origins of colour vision science in 19th century Britain. By drawing attention to wide ranging dialogues and disagreements between diverse figures with different visions of colour, including physicists David Brewster, James Clerk Maxwell, and Lord Rayleigh, …
