Scientists at the Jules Stein Eye Institute at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA have discovered that certain ...

Cone-rod dystrophy is linked to more than 30 genes that help the rods and cones in your retina work. The cones usually break down first, which is why light sensitivity is often the first symptom.

Find out what you need to know about the retina, including where it's located, what it does, and potential health problems.

Vision: Cones, rods in the retina may still retain visual function despite eyesight loss New research involving cones and rods in the retina could lead to new treatments for vision loss.

Medically reviewed by Andrew Greenberg, MD Peripheral vision is what you see beyond your direct line of sight. It helps provide a complete sense of your surroundings without moving your head. Jump to ...

Researchers link early cone dysfunction in RPGR-related retinal dystrophy to high myopia, with timing of degeneration ...

Cones outnumber rods only in the center of the retina, which is the area of greatest density. It is also the area most heavily used by daytime, direct vision. But rods do fire during the day, ...

Cones are needed to see colors and make vision possible in bright light, whereas the far more numerous rods permit sight in low light. The human retina contains approximately 125 million rod cells ...

An investigational antibody demonstrated an ability to preserve vision in people with geographic atrophy from dry age-related macular degeneration.

UCLA scientists found that in early retinitis pigmentosa, rod bipolar cells in mice rewire to connect with cones, preserving ...
