Imaging the human eye: detailed images of rod and cone photoreceptors: Detailed images of photoreceptors could advance treatment and early detection for macular degeneration and other eye diseases – Science Daily

Researchers have developed a noninvasive technique that can capture images of rod and cone photoreceptors with unprecedented detail. The advance could lead to new treatments and earlier detection for retinal diseases such as macular degeneration, a leading cause of vision loss.”We are hopeful that this technique will better reveal subtle changes in the size, shape and distribution of rod and cone photoreceptors in diseases that affect the retina,” said research team leader Johnny Tam from the National…
