a group of diseases that damage the eye optic nerve and can cause blindness. Right now there are two ways to check eye pressure,
If the pressure in the eye is too high for the optic nerve to function, however, damage to the eye can begin, often with no pain or warning signs.
the rod and cone cells that convert light into electrical signals transmitted via the optic nerve to the brain s visual cortex for processing.
The nerve impulses from these cells are led then via the optic nerve to the visual cortex where they create impressions of sight.
which feed information to the brain visual processing regions via the optic nerve. Neuroscientists have identified at least nine types of ganglion cells with distinct functions, structures,
resulting in damage to the optic nerve, which carries information to the brain. Since the symptoms of glaucoma do not show up until very late stages,
About 12 percent of India 1. 2 billion people are estimated to be affected by glaucoma. amage to the optic nerve due to glaucoma is not reversible.
the light-sensitive layer of brain tissue at the inner surface of the back of the eye that transmits image information to other parts of the brain via the optic nerve.
due to the point where the optic nerve must pass through the retina, Mr Miller said. hen images project to that precise location,
These problems are caused by a loss of retinal ganglion cellshe cells that carry visual signals from the retina through the optic nerve and into the brain.
atrophy (shrinkage) of the optic nerve, and a decline in visual responses, as seen in a type of electrical recording from the retina known as an electroretinogram.
