Advanced Retina Care

The #retina consists of two layers! The outer layer (pigment epithelium) is pigmented, which prevents the back reflection of light and consequent decrease in #visual acuity! The inner layer contains nerve #cells, blood #vessels, and two types of light-sensitive cells (rods and cones)!

Merry Christmas from Advanced Retina Care!

On average, there are 7 million cones in the human retina, 64 percent of which are red, 32 percent green, and 2 percent blue, with each being sensitive to a slightly different region of the color spectrum!

The retina is the light-sensitive layer of tissue that lines the inside of the eye and sends visual messages through the optic nerve to the brain!
