In the visual thalamus, neurons are in contact with both eyes but respond to only one
The visual thalamus is classically known to relay visual stimuli coming from the retina to the cerebral cortex. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology now show that although neurons in the mouse visual thalamus connect to both eyes, they establish strong functional connections only with one retina. These results settle partly contradictory results […]
Serious Complications Uncommon After Primary Lens Implantation in Children
A third of intraocular lens (IOL) implants for nontraumatic glaucoma in children required reoperation for visual axis opacification (VAO) within 5 years, most often in eyes that did not have anterior vitrectomy, a large cohort study showed. Overall, 32% of 609 eyes developed VAO requiring reoperation after primary IOL implantation. The reoperation rate for VAO […]
