phototransduction. No proper joining between ganglion cells and optic nerve i.e glucoma, MS

retinal dystrophy
No photoreceptor transduction. AMD, retinitis pigmentosa (20s late teens)
4 of 8
retinitis pigmentosa
rod degeneration (mutations in rhodopsin gene) night blindness, inherited, x-linked. Deafness also associated due to photoreceptors being similar structure and similar genes to cillia cells

Treatment wet AMD
Anti VEGF factor --> causes vasoconstriction in the choroid and decreases vascular leak
6 of 8
Treatment of dry AMD
complement factor D inhibitor (prevents drusen deposits through oxidation) i.e lampalizamub
