  2. Spaceflight associated neuro-ocular syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaceflight_Associated...

    In-flight ultrasound shows proximal kinking and increased optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) of approximately 12 mm that is consistent with raised ICPs. Optic nerve shown in purple and the ONSD in green. Figure 10: MRI (R+30 days) of the fourth case of visual changes from long-duration spaceflight. There is prominence of central T2 ...

  3. Optic nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_nerve

    The fibers from the retina run along the optic nerve to nine primary visual nuclei in the brain, from which a major relay inputs into the primary visual cortex. A fundus photograph showing the back of the retina. The white circle is the beginning of the optic nerve. The optic nerve is composed of retinal ganglion cell axons and glia.

  4. Heidelberg Retinal Tomography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heidelberg_retinal_tomography

    It is based on the principle of spot illumination and spot detection. The optic nerve and retina are illuminated through a single pinhole, and the light returning from the area of interest results in a 2D image. [3] from a series of 2D images, a 3D image is made. [3]

  5. Visual pathway lesions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_pathway_lesions

    The optic tract is a continuation of the optic nerve that relays information from the optic chiasm to the ipsilateral lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), pretectal nuclei, and superior colliculus. [14] The optic tract represents the first stage in the visual pathway in which visual information is transferred in a homonymous nature. [ 15 ]

  6. Optical coherence tomography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_coherence_tomography

    Optical coherence tomogram of a fingertip. It is possible to observe the sweat glands, having "corkscrew appearance" Interferometric reflectometry of biological tissue, especially of the human eye using short-coherence-length light (also referred to as partially-coherent, low-coherence, or broadband, broad-spectrum, or white light) was investigated in parallel by multiple groups worldwide ...

  7. Blind spot (vision) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_spot_(vision)

    Distribution of rods and cones along a line passing through the fovea and the blind spot of a human eye [1]. A blind spot, scotoma, is an obscuration of the visual field.A particular blind spot known as the physiological blind spot, "blind point", or punctum caecum in medical literature, is the place in the visual field that corresponds to the lack of light-detecting photoreceptor cells on the ...

  8. Megalopapilla - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megalopapilla

    In megalopapilla the optic disc diameter exceeds 2.1 mm (or surface area more than 2.5 mm 2 [1]) with an increased cup-to-disc ratio. [2] Although the optic disc is looks abnormal, the disc colour, sharpness of disc margin, rim volume, configuration of blood vessels and intraocular pressure will be normal.

  9. Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_ischemic_optic...

    The optic nerve is the bundle of axons that carry the visual signals from the eye to the brain. This optic nerve must penetrate through the wall of the eye, and the hole to accommodate this is usually 20-30% larger than the nerve diameter. In some patients the optic nerve is nearly as large as the opening in the back of the eye, and the optic ...
