ARVO 2011 has come and gone. Its taken me a couple of weeks to get through the post ARVO chaos and get caught up on my own work before posting some of the snapshots, but here they are.
Rod Photoreceptor TEM
Sometimes imagery comes your way that really deserves to be published in some way, shape or form that will not necessarily be in context with any other story. This is a prime example of imagery like that which should be shared with the community. We are all sitting on beautiful imagery that may or may …

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 …
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 …
The Vertebrate Eye and its Adaptive Radiation by Gordon Walls
Matt Reed who hosts a blog, DATADeluge sent this item in, a link to the entirety of Gordon Walls excellent 1942 book The Vertebrate Eye and its Adaptive Radiation, hosted on the Internet Archive. Walls book was a landmark with beautiful illustrations and well thought out prose that reflects the man. An obituary to Gordon …

Notable Papers: Self-organizing optic-cup morphogenesis in three-dimensional culture
I was blown away by this paper out of the Sasai laboratory at the Riken Center for Developmental Biology. Essentially, the Sasai laboratory is trying to recapitulate the developmental process of the retina in a test tube in isolation from the rest of the live animal. Its a stunning development that appears to demonstrate bilayered optic …
