The 53 pages that link to Retina, each with the reason it gives.

• Cone cellNarrower topic: Cone cells are one of the retina’s two main classes of photoreceptor.

• Compound eyeRelated: The compound eye’s photoreceptor cells form a distributed sensory layer rather than one continuous vertebrate-style retina.

• Visual fieldNarrower topic: The retina receives the image corresponding to the visible region of space.

• Diabetic retinopathyNarrower topic: Diabetic retinopathy damages the retinal tissue and its supporting blood supply.

• CorneaCompared with: The cornea bends light at the eye's entrance; the retina converts the focused image into neural signals.

• BlindnessBroader topic: Damage to its photoreceptors or supporting cells can prevent light from becoming useful visual signals.

• Optic nerveNarrower topic: It converts light into neural signals that feed the optic nerve.

• Retinal detachmentNarrower topic: Detachment disrupts the retina’s contact with the tissue that supports it.

• Photoreceptor cellNarrower topic: It contains photoreceptors alongside the neurons that process and relay their signals.

• Refractive errorRelated: Refractive error is defined by light failing to focus on this surface.

• Retinal ganglion cellNarrower topic: Ganglion cells are the retina’s output neurons, positioned downstream of its local circuitry.

• Crystalline lensCompared with: The lens focuses light onto the retina, which detects it rather than focusing it.

• Retinitis pigmentosaNarrower topic: Retinitis pigmentosa affects the retina, especially its photoreceptors and supporting tissues.

• IrisRelated: The iris regulates the light reaching this sensory tissue.

• MyopiaBroader topic: Myopia occurs when the image of a distant object forms in front of this light-sensitive layer.

• Optical illusionRelated: Some visual effects begin with adaptation and interactions among retinal cells.

• PupilRelated: Light passing through the pupil ultimately reaches this tissue.

• Rod cellNarrower topic: Rod cells occupy the retina’s outer layer and connect into its local circuits.

• TrichromacyRelated: Where the three cone signals are generated and first combined.

• Visual cortexNarrower topic: It begins the visual pathway that ultimately supplies cortical input.

• Photopic visionNarrower topic: Photopic vision begins in the retina, where cones transduce light.

• AccommodationRelated: Accommodation is useful when it brings an object’s image into sharp focus on this tissue.

• ElectroretinographyNarrower topic: ERG records electrical activity from this tissue rather than from the optic nerve or visual cortex.

• PresbyopiaRelated: Accommodation normally keeps images of near objects focused on this tissue.

• AfterimageBroader topic: The retinal signals that initiate an afterimage begin with light-sensitive cells.

• Fovea (retina)Narrower topic: The fovea is a specialized region within this tissue.

• Lateral geniculate nucleusRelated: Retinal ganglion-cell axons provide the principal input to the nucleus.

• Color perceptionBroader topic: Color perception begins when retinal circuits process light captured by cones.

• Depth perceptionNarrower topic: Depth cues begin as patterns of light registered separately by the two retinas.

• OphthalmoscopyBroader topic: Its appearance and lesions form the main subject of the examination.

• Peripheral visionNarrower topic: Its changing cell distribution across the eye shapes peripheral sensitivity.

• Primary visual cortexNarrower topic: V1's input ultimately originates in the retinal circuits that encode light.

• AchromatopsiaNarrower topic: Achromatopsia arises from dysfunction in retinal cone pathways.

• Crocodilian sensory systemsRelated: Its photoreceptors convert incoming light into signals used for crocodilian vision.

• Night visionNarrower topic: Night vision begins with retinal detection and processing of dim light.

• Cataract surgeryRelated: A healthy retina is needed to benefit fully from clearer light transmission after surgery.

• Docosahexaenoic acidRelated: DHA is highly concentrated in retinal photoreceptor membranes.

• Retinopathy of prematurityNarrower topic: ROP affects the developing blood supply and structure of this tissue.

• Visual systemBroader topic: It converts incoming light into neural signals before information leaves the eye.

• WalleyeRelated: A reflective layer behind the retina contributes to walleye’s low-light vision.

• Christine Ladd-FranklinRelated: Her theory located the stages of color differentiation in the visual apparatus.

• EyeBroader topic: It converts the focused image into electrical signals.

• Visual impairmentBroader topic: Retinal damage can reduce central detail, peripheral awareness, or both.

• Blood-retinal barrierNarrower topic: The barrier protects this tissue while allowing controlled access to nutrients and signaling molecules.

• Human eyeBroader topic: It converts focused light into neural signals.

• Human visual systemBroader topic: The retina does substantial computation, not just detection, before signals leave the eye.

• Vitreous bodyCompared with: The vitreous lies against the retina but does not detect light or convert it into neural signals.

• MonochromacyNarrower topic: Monochromacy originates in the retinal signals that feed visual processing.

• Simple eyeRelated: Some simple eyes organize their photoreceptors into a retina-like sensory layer.

• Four-eyed fishRelated: Separate retinal regions receive images from the fish’s above-water and underwater fields.
