Leaving for ARVO, 2011
We are on our way to ARVO, 2011 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to participate in the largest gathering of vision scientists and clinicians in the world. It’s the annual meeting of researchers presenting and discussing all things vision and ophthalmology and a large group from the Moran Eye Center will be going. Over the next …
100 Papers You Should Read, Functional Organization of Catfish Retina
This is the second paper in the category, 100 Papers You Should Read (in vision science). This manuscript, Functional Organization of Catfish Retina by Ken-Ichi Naka is a landmark paper in the vision science communities attempts to classify neurons in the retina and figure out how they process information. Ken-ichi Naka made fundamental contributions …

Adderall Toxicity in The Retina
Todays images come from a 9 year old female who presented with retinal findings that include central ischemia with pre retinal hemorrhages due to Adderall, a drug used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The fluorescein angiogram images at the bottom show the extent of the central ischemic capillaries and the regions of non-perfusion …
