Macular holes and endogenous electric fields A Theoretical Model Of How Electrotaxis In Retinal Glial Cells Aids In Macular Hole Closure.

Purpose: To introduce the concept of endogenous electric fields in macular hole closure and propose them as a plausible mechanism guiding retinal glial cell migration to facilitate closure. Methods: This theoretical model reviews the current literature on electrotaxis as a well-e...

Visual Field Progression Rate and Laminar Depth and Curvature in the African Descent and Glaucoma Evaluation Study (ADAGES)

Abstract P urpose To determine if lamina cribrosa (LC) depth and curvature predict visual field (VF) progression rate in the African Descent and Glaucoma Evaluation Study (ADAGES) cohort in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). S ubjects Participants, and/or Controls....
