| rod cell |
A type of photoreceptor cell that is located throughout the retina but is more common outside of the central macular region of the retina, ie the periphery of the retina. The rod cell is particularly important for night vision, black and white vision, and side or peripheral vision. In many forms of RP, rod cell loss leads to loss of peripheral vision (ie, tunnel vision)
