Affections of Uvea Affections of Uvea
AFFECTIONS OF UVEA AFFECTIONS OF UVEA Anatomy and physiology: • Uvea is the vascular coat of the eye lying beneath the sclera. • It consists of the uvea and uveal tract. • It consists of 3 parts: Iris, the anterior portion; Ciliary body, the middle part; Choroid, the third and the posterior most part. • All the parts of uvea are intimately associated. Iris • It is spongy having the connective tissue stroma, muscular fibers and abundance of vessels and nerves. • It is lined anteriorly by endothelium and posteriorly by a pigmented epithelium. • Its color is because of amount of melanin pigment. Mostly it is brown or golden yellow. • Iris has two muscles; the sphincter which encircles the pupil and has parasympathetic innervation; the dilator which extends from near the sphincter and has sympathetic innervation. • Iris regulates the amount of light admitted to the interior through pupil. • The iris separates the anterior chamber from the posterior chamber of the eye. Ciliary Body: • It extends backward from the base of the iris to the anterior part of the choroid. • It has ciliary muscle and the ciliary processes (70 to 80 in number) which are covered by ciliary epithelium. Choroid: • It is located between the sclera and the retina. • It extends from the ciliaris retinae to the opening of the optic nerve. • It is composed mainly of blood vessels and the pigmented tissue., The pupil • It is circular and regular opening formed by the iris and is larger in dogs in comparison to man. • It contracts or dilates depending upon the light source, due the sphincter and dilator muscles of the iris, respectively. -

Towards a Chromatic Pupillometry Protocol for Assessing Melanopsin-Driven Post-Illumination Pupil Response in Basic Science and Clinical Investigations
TOWARDS A CHROMATIC PUPILLOMETRY PROTOCOL FOR ASSESSING MELANOPSIN-DRIVEN POST-ILLUMINATION PUPIL RESPONSE IN BASIC SCIENCE AND CLINICAL INVESTIGATIONS by Shaobo Lei A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Institute of Medical Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Shaobo Lei 2016 Towards a Chromatic Pupillometry Protocol for Assessing Melanopsin-Driven Post-Illumination Pupil Response in Basic Science and Clinical Investigations Shaobo Lei Master of Science Institute of Medical Science University of Toronto 2016 Abstract The pupillary light reflex (PLR) is mediated by intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglions cells (ipRGCs), a sub-group of retinal ganglion cells that contain photopigment melanopsin. Melanopsin activation drives a sustained pupil constriction after the offset of light stimulus, this so-called post-illumination pupil response (PIPR) is an in vivo index of melanopsin-driven ipRGC photoactivity. PIPR can be assessed by chromatic pupillometry, but consensus on a standardized PIPR testing protocol has not been reached yet. The purpose of this thesis is to develop an optimized PIPR testing methodology, and to use it to investigate clinical and basic science questions related to melanopsin and ipRGCs. Based on previous pilot work on full-field chromatic pupillometry, a new and repeatable method was developed to measure PIPR induced by hemifield, central-field and full-field light stimulation. This chromatic pupillometry system was then used to investigate a series of basic science and clinical questions related to melanopsin and ipRGCs. ii Acknowledgments I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to a number of people who have helped me to see through this thesis project. -

In the foveola of the eye, photoreceptors and Müller cells with a unique morphology have been described, but little is known about their 3D structure and orientation. Considering that there is an angle-dependent change in the foveolar photoreceptor response for the same light beam, known as the Stiles Crawford Effect of the first kind (SCE I), which is still not fully understood, a detailed analysis of the anatomy of the foveolar cells might help to clarify this phenomenon. Methods. Serial semithin and ultrathin sections, and focused ion beam (FIB) tomography were -prepared from 32 foveolae from monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) and humans. Foveolae were also analyzed under the electron microscope. Serial sections and FIB analysis were then used to construct 3D models of central Müller and photoreceptor cells.
