The retina is the
innermost, light-sensitive layer, or "coat", of shell tissue of the
eye of most vertebrates and some molluscs. The optics of the eye create a
focused two-dimensional image of the visual world on the retina, which
translates that image into electrical neural impulses to the brain to create
visual perception, the retina serving much the same function as film or a CCD
in a camera.
In the present book, twelve typical
literatures about retinal repair published on international authoritative
journals were selected to introduce the worldwide newest progress, which
contains reviews or original researches on Retinal-Ischemia, Retinal Laser Technology, Selective Retinal Therapy, Retinal Coordinate and Retinal Pigment Epithelium, etc. We hope this book can
demonstrate advances in retinal repair as well
as give references to the researchers, students and other related people.
