| retinal ganglion cell | <pathology> A type of interneuron that conveys information from the retinal bipolar, horizontal and amacrine cells to the brain. (18 Nov 1997) |
| retinal ganglion cells | Cells of the innermost nuclear layer of the retina, the ganglion cell layer, which project axons through the optic nerve to the brain. They are quite variable in size and in the shapes of their dendritic arbors, which are generally confined to the inner plexiform layer. (12 Dec 1998) |

| retinal necrosis syndrome, acute | <ophthalmology> Mild to fulminant necrotizing vaso-occlusive retinitis associated with a high incidence of retinal detachment and poor vision outcome. (12 Dec 1998) |
| retinal neovascularization | <ophthalmology> New blood vessels originating from the retinal veins and extending along the inner (vitreal) surface of the retina. This process is characterised by a diseased retina with a disturbed vascular bed. Neovascularization is associated with a variety of conditions including vascular occlusion, sickle cell diseases, sarcoidosis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| retinal perforation | <ophthalmology> Perforations through the whole thickness of the retina including the macula as the result of inflammation, trauma, degeneration, etc. The concept includes retinal breaks, tears, dialyses, and holes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| retinal pigmented epithelial cell | See: pigmented retinal epithelium, retina. (18 Nov 1997) |
| retinal pigments | <ophthalmology, physiology> Chemicals functioning in the visual cycle in retinal rod cells. Through excitation by visible light, a series of complex molecular changes occur that serve to trigger in the optical nerve endings an impulse transmitted to the brain, resulting in the perception of vision. (12 Dec 1998) |
| retinal reductase | Alcohol dehydrogenase (NAD(P)+). (05 Mar 2000) |
| retinal rod | <ophthalmology, physiology> Major photoreceptor cell of vertebrate retina (about 125 million in a human eye). Columnar cells (about 40m long, 1m diameter) having three distinct regions: a region adjacent to and synapsed with, the neural layer of the retina contains the nucleus and other cytoplasmic organelles, below this is the inner segment, rich in mitochondria, that is connected through a thin neck (in which is located a ciliary body) to the outer segment. The outer segment largely consists of a stack of discs membrane infoldings that are incompletely separated in cones) that are continually replenished near the inner segment and that are shed from the distal end and phagocytosed by the pigmented epithelium. The membranes of the discs are rich in rhodopsin, the pigment that absorbs light. (03 Jul 1999) |
| retinal vein | <ophthalmology> Central retinal vein and its tributaries. It runs a short course within the optic nerve and then leaves and empties into the superior ophthalmic vein or cavernous sinus. (12 Dec 1998) |

| retinal detachment |
The retina can become separated from from the inner wall of the eye. Unless it is re-attached soon, permanent vision loss will result.

| retinal rivalry |
When two dissimilar images fall on the corresponding areas of the retina, there is confusion due to their superimposition and there is a conflict between the two retinas. The brain therefore suppresses one of the images. If both eyes have equal dominance there is alternating suppression of these images, eg, while wearing red glass in front of one eye and green in front of the other, a plane white surface will appear red and green alternately.

| retinal detachment |
Condition in which a portion of the retina becomes separated from the inner wall of the eye. In AIDS patients, it can result from retinal disease such as CMV retinitis. The condition can rapidly lead to vision loss but is treatable by adding silicone to the eye's vitreous humor to increase the pressure on the retina.

| retinal detachment |
a condition in which a layer of the retina separates from the underlying epithelium, allowing vitreous fluid to seep behind it. The condition may lead to loss of vision.

|
| retinal detachment |
The falling away of the retina from its correct position at the back of the eye, which leads to a defect in the field of vision and ultimately loss of vision.
