Click on the right arrow to see an alternate view of a developing zebrafish eye. Biology in the background Zebrafish eyes are similar to ours. We share all the major structures, such as a single lens ...

The cornea is the clear dome that covers the front of the eye and helps to focus light to enable you to see clearly. On the outer edge of the cornea are stem cells, called limbal epithelial cells, ...

For the first time, researchers developed stem cell-derived pig retinal cells in comparison with human retinal cells, ...

Prostaglandins (PGs) are ubiquitous compounds found throughout the body, including the eye. They are involved in a variety of ocular functions, two of which are intraocular pressure (IOP ...

A tooth to restore vision: what seems like something out of a science fiction novel is, in fact, a medical reality. A rare ...

Working in the eye biology lab didn’t really capture his imagination, and parts of the work were tedious, but Gate says that despite that, he loved the process—the basic work of doing experiments. “I ...

This is an image of a fluorescently labeled eye and surrounding tissue from a zebrafish. The blood vessels are purple (1), the lymphatic vessels are green (2), and the nuclei of all the cells are blue ...

Cornea Tough, transparent covering over the front part of the eye. Convex in shape. Refracts light as it enters the eye (by a fixed amount). Iris Coloured part of the eye that contains muscles.

PG analogs lower the IOP by improving the outflow of fluid from the eye (pressure dependent and/or pressure independent drainage). Topical PG analog use is associated with iris color changes ...
