Overview

Ganglion cells, in the context of Ophthalmic Science, are the retinal ganglion cells, a class of neurons in the innermost layer of the retina that gather visual information from other retinal cells and transmit it to the brain. Their long fibers, or axons, converge to form the optic nerve, carrying signals that underlie vision as well as functions such as the pupillary light reflex and the regulation of daily biological rhythms. Because retinal ganglion cells are central to conveying visual information, their health is critical to sight, and their loss or damage is a key feature of conditions such as glaucoma and various optic nerve disorders, often leading to irreversible vision loss. Imaging of the ganglion cell layer is increasingly used to assess and monitor these conditions. Research relevant to this ophthalmic journal reflects this focus, including measurement of macular ganglion cell layer thickness in patients taking certain medications, the visual consequences of optic nerve head drusen, and experimental study of whether transiently raised intraocular pressure affects retinal function and ganglion cell survival. Through the study of these cells, Ophthalmic Science advances the understanding and management of optic nerve and retinal disease. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to retinal ganglion cells and their role in vision and eye disease.
