Understanding glaucoma through imaging of single cells
In the Lions Eye Institute’s 40th year, please join Professor Balwantray Chauhan as he reveals how imaging is helping us understand the health of eyes.
Retinal ganglion cell
Imaging of the eye is revolutionising management of diseases such as macular degeneration and glaucoma. New advances have now allowed us to image retinal ganglion cells, the principal cell type that is lost in glaucoma.
This lecture will review how imaging is helping us understand the health of these cells, and the opportunities and challenges of translating these advances to clinical care.
