University of Rochester New Technique May Spot Evidence of Macular Degeneration Years Earlier A layer of "dark cells" in the retina that is responsible for maintaining the health of the light-sensing cells in our eyes has been imaged in a living retina for the first time. The ability to se...
The relative vertical placements of the rod and cone dark adaptation curves and the time course of the recovery of sensitivity depend on a number of factors, including the retinal location of the test probe, its wavelength, and the retinalilluminanceof the bleaching light. Dark adaptation testing ...
The test target consisted of a 500 nm (Ealing #35-3508, FWHM 7.4, Peak 50%) circular test-spot, subtending 1.7° of visual angle and located 12° in the inferior visual field on the vertical meridian. After baseline sensitivity measurement, the test eye then underwent a bleach (0.25 ms...
Your brain makes sense of this dimmer image by taking the most noticeable feature in the image and making it larger than it really is. So if there’s a bright spot in your retinal image, like the sun, your brain will make that spot brighter and make everything around that spot much da...
However, the term beam area should be preferred over spot-size and reported in square centimetres. The term spot is usually descriptive of a circular shape and size is ambiguous although units may remove ambiguity. As mentioned previously, lasers may emit an elliptical beam, which would ...

horizontal)). This resulted in 432 trials. The retinal eccentricities were the same as in the condition 0°|4° (or −4°|0°) in Experiment 1 but using different screen locations now. For example, with the fixation at 4° from the screen center, the eccentric locations on the screen...
