Summary:

This book presents important research advances in the study of eye research, as well as eye cancer research, retinal degeneration, macular degeneration, optics research, optic nerve disease and visual perception. Topics discussed herein include antioxidants in age-related macular degeneration; ocular coloboma; melatonin in retinal pathophysiology; ocular birth defects; advances in retinoblastoma; optical design techniques in current eye models; optical nerve injury and regeneration; progressive retinal dystrophies; molecular genetics of macular degeneration; and challenges in visual perception.
