This is the first and most powerful lens of the optical system of the eye and allows, together with the crystalline lens the production of a sharp image at the retina. - The "white of the eye", the sclera, which forms part of the supporting wall of the eyeball is continuous with the cornea and the dura of the central nervous system. The eye has three chambers of fluid: Anterior chamber (between cornea and iris), Posterior chamber (between iris, zonule fibers and lens) and the Vitreous chamber (between the lens and the retina). The first two chambers are filled with aqueous humor whereas the vitreous chamber is filled with a more viscous fluid, the vitreous humor. The sagittal section of the eye also reveals the lens which is a transparent body located behind the iris. The lens is suspended by ligaments (called zonule fibers) attached to the anterior portion of the ciliary body. The contraction or relaxation of these ligaments as a consequence of ciliary muscle actions, changes the shape of the lens, a process called accommodation that allows us to form a sharp image on the retina. Light rays are focussed through the transparent cornea and lens upon the retina. The central point for image focus (the visual axis) in the human retina is the fovea. Here a maximally focussed image initiates resolution of the finest detail and direct transmission of that detail to the brain for the higher operations needed for perception. Slightly more nasally than the visual axis is the optic axis projecting closer to the optic nerve head. The optic axis is the longest sagittal distance between the front or vertex of the corna and the furthest posterior part of the eyeball. It is about the optic axis that the eye is rotated by the eye muscles. Inserted into the sclera are three pairs of muscles (6 muscles altogether). Two pairs are rectus muscles running straight to the bony orbit of the skull orthogonal to each other (the superior rectus, the inferior rectus, the lateral rectus and the medial rectus muscles). A further pair of muscles, the oblique muscles (superior oblique and inferior oblique) are angled as the name implies obliquely. These muscles, named extraocular muscles rotate the eyeball in the orbits and allow the image to be focussed at all times on the fovea of central retina. The retina is a part of the central nervous system and an ideal region of the vertebrate brain to study, because like other regions of the central nervous system, it derives from the neural tube. The retina is formed during development of the embryo from optic vesicles outpouching from two sides of the developing neural tube. The primordial optic vesicles fold back in upon themselves to form the optic cup with the inside of the cup becoming the retina and the outside remaining a single monolayer of epithelium known as the retinal pigment epithelium. Initially both walls of the optic cup are one cell thick, but the cells of the inner wall divide to form a neuroepithelial layer many cells thick: the retina In the center of the retina is the optic nerve, a circular to oval white area measuring about 2 x 1.5 mm across. From the center of the optic nerve radiate the major blood vessels of the retina. There are two sources of blood supply to the mammalian retina: the central retinal artery and the choroidal blood vessels. The choroid receives the greatest blood flow (65-85%) (Henkind et al., 1979) and is vital for the maintainance of the outer retina (particularly the photoreceptors) and the remaining 20-30% flows to the retina through the central retinal artery from the optic nerve head to nourish the inner retinal layers. The central retinal artery has 4 main branches in the human retina. The arterial intraretinal branches then supply three layers of capillary networks i.e. 1) the radial peripapillary capillaries (RPCs) and 2) an inner and 3) an outer layer of capillaries. The precapillary venules drain into venules and through the corresponding venous system to the central retinal vein. Approximately 17 degrees (4.5-5 mm), or two and half disc diameters to the left of the disc, can be seen the slightly oval- shaped, blood vessel-free reddish spot, the fovea, which is at the center of the area known as the macula by ophthalmologists. A circular field of approximately 6 mm around the fovea is considered the central retina while beyond this is peripheral retina stretching to the ora serrata, 21 mm from the center of the optic disc. The total retina is a circular disc of approximately 42 mm diameter. The retina is approximately 0.5 mm thick and lines the back of the eye. The optic nerve contains the ganglion cell axons running to the brain and, additionally, incoming blood vessels that open into the retina to vascularize the retinal layers and neurons. A radial section of a portion of the retina reveals that the ganglion cells (the output neurons of the retina) lie innermost in the retina closest to the lens and front of the eye, and the photosensors (the rods and cones) lie outermost in the retina against the pigment epithelium and choroid. Light must, therefore, travel through the thickness of the retina before striking and activating the rods and cones. Subsequently the absorbtion of photons by the visual pigment of the photoreceptors is translated into first a biochemical message and then an electrical message that can stimulate all the succeeding neurons of the retina. The retinal message concerning the photic input and some preliminary organization of the visual image into several forms of sensation are transmitted to the brain from the spiking discharge pattern of the ganglion cells. A simplistic wiring diagram of the retina emphasizes only the sensory photoreceptors and the ganglion cells with a few interneurons connecting the two cell types such as seen in the figure 2.

PHILLIPS Department of Ophthalmology, University ofEdinburgh Observations have been made of the horizontal extent of cupping of the optic nerve head in both normal and glaucomatous eyes in an attempt to determine the factors which influ- ence cup size in the normal eye (Armaly, I967; Armaly and Sayegh, I969; Armaly, 1969a, b; Tomlinson and Phillips, I969; Jonsas, I972) and to establish differential diagnostic criteria for glaucomatous excavation (Armaly, I969c; Armaly, I970; Becker, 1970; Kirsch and Anderson, I973a). In our series (i969) cup-disc area ratio was chosen to take account of oval or other shapes. Recently the vertical elongation of the optic cup has been considered as a possible diagnostic feature of glaucomatous cupping by Kirsch and Anderson (I973a, b) and Weisman, Asseff, Phelps, Podos, and Becker (I973). It is important, however, to consider factors which influence physiological variations of any feature before it may be utilized as http://bjo.bmj.com/ a diagnostic criterion ofany condition, e.g. it has been found (Tomlinson and Phillips, I 969) that the area of cup of the optic disc in normal eyes is related to axial length of the eyeball and that this in turn is related to intraocular pressure (Tomlinson and Phillips, 1970); similarly the degree of angulation and position of emergence of vessels at the optic disc are dependent on the area of physiological cupping present (Tomlinson and Phillips, 1977 ).

The study of eye growth regulation presents an interesting window that allows for the investigation of the role of the visual environment on internal processes. We now know that there is an intricate circuitry within the eye, independent of higher brain processes, that controls the growth of the eye but more needs to be elucidated about these local regulatory circuits. An improved understanding of this circuitry is critical to developing new therapies for abnormalities in eye growth regulation such as myopia, which is impacting more and more individuals around the world each day and in its more severe from, is linked to potentially blinding ocular complications.

    HOW PLACE OF PRESSURIZATION EFFECTS OCULAR STRUCTURES Mikayla Ferchaw, Ning-Jiun Jan, Ian Sigal, PhD. Laboratory of Ocular Biomechanics, Department of Ophthalmology, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine INTRODUCTION loading could be observed and clearly indicated on the obtained Glaucoma is the second leading cause of irreversible images produced. Once the eyes were fixed, they were blindness worldwide [1]. The main risk factor for glaucoma is cryosectioned axially. Cryosectioning is a process where the elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), which is regulated by the eyes are frozen and then sliced into very thin sections, which in production and drainage of aqueous humor in the anterior this case is 30 microns. Next, the sections were imaged with chamber of the eye [2]. Whole eye pressurization experiments polarization light microscopy and then loaded into FIJI, an can be used to understand how increased IOP affects different image processing package, where the collagen fiber bundles structures in the eye and how that results in risk for were then marked in small increments. Simultaneously, the glaucomatous damage [3]. Current pressurization experiments, original images were processed to determine collagen fiber however, consider pressurization through the anterior and orientation. The final step to this experiment was performing vitreous chamber as interchangeable and equivalent. IOP is the statistical analysis in R, a statistical coding software, to find regulated by the dynamics of the anterior chamber, not the the difference in collagen waviness in the different regions of vitreous chamber [3]. The anterior chamber is continuously the eye when pressurized through the anterior chamber versus replenished with aqueous humor via the trabecular meshwork the vitreous chamber.

  • Photogrammetric Measurement of the Optic Disc Cup in Glaucoma*
    Photogrammetric Measurement of the Optic Disc Cup in Glaucoma* Takenori Takamoto, Ph .D. Assistant Professor Bernard Schwartz, M.D. Ph .D. Professor and Chairman Department of Ophthalmology New England Medical Center and Tufts University School of Medicine 171 Harrison Avenue Boston, Massachusetts 02111 ABSTRACT Cupping of the optic disc associated with the atrophy of the optic nerve is one of the earliest recognizable signs of glaucoma. Measure­ ments of the optic cup changes would provide objective evaluation in early diagnosis and therapy of glaucomatous eyes, by following the course of the patient in relation to the loss of visual field and medical or surgical control. A semi-analytical photogrammetric technique, the radial section method, has been devised to provide general references so that any differences in optic discs can be compared objectively. The coefficient of variation of the cup parameters is about 4% for cup diameter, and abour 5% for cup depth and volume . Due to the small size of the dilated pupil and refractive index of the eye , the accuracy of photogrammetric measurements of the optic disc is limited. However, optimal geometry of fundus stereophotography can be obtained by convergent stereophotography. On model experiments with 15 degrees of convergent angle, the new method improves the accuracy eight times in cup depth and more than two times in cup diameter measure­ ments over that of non-convergent method . INTROIXJCTION Eye diseases and systemic diseases with ocular manifestations have been studied by examining living vascul ar and nerve tissue under magnificat ion. The information can be recorded on photographs , which can provide a ready means of estimating changes in establi shed l esions and can be a valuable diagnostic method .
