    Macular degeneration is an incurable eye condition that affects the retina. It comes in two forms: wet and dry. Generally, medications can help with age-related macular degeneration, or AMD.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_field_entoptic_phenomenon

    In a technique known as blue field entoptoscopy, the effect is used to estimate the blood flow in the retinal capillaries.The patient is alternatingly shown blue light and a computer generated picture of moving dots; by adjusting the speed and density of these dots, the patient tries to match the computer generated picture to the perceived entoptic dots.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flicker_fusion_threshold

    In some cases, it is possible to see flicker at rates beyond 2000 Hz (2 kHz) in the case of high-speed eye movements or object motion, via the "phantom array" effect. [16] [17] Fast-moving flickering objects zooming across view (either by object motion, or by eye motion such as rolling eyes), can cause a dotted or multicolored blur instead of a ...

    The Purkinje tree is an image of the retinal blood vessels in one's own eye, first described by Purkyně in 1823. It can be seen by shining the beam of a small bright light through the pupil from the periphery of a subject's vision. This results in an image of the light being focused on the periphery of the retina.

    Muybridge's photographic sequence of a race horse galloping, first published in 1878. High-speed photography is the science of taking pictures of very fast phenomena. In 1948, the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) defined high-speed photography as any set of photographs captured by a camera capable of 69 frames per second or greater, and of at least three consecutive ...

    Trace of saccades of the human eye on a face while scanning Saccades during observation of a picture on a computer screen. In vision science, a saccade (/ s ə ˈ k ɑː d / sə-KAHD; French:; French for 'jerk') is a quick, simultaneous movement of both eyes between two or more phases of focal points in the same direction.

    The blockage leads to greater-than-normal elevated intraocular pressure [2] which, in turn, can damage the optic nerve. [7] The eye produces a clear fluid called the aqueous humor which subsequently drains such that there is a constant level of safe pressure within the eye, but glaucoma can result if this normal outflow of fluid is blocked.

    One example of a pressure phosphene is demonstrated by gently pressing the side of one's eye and observing a colored ring of light on the opposite side, as detailed by Isaac Newton. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] [ 9 ] Another common phosphene is "seeing stars" from a sneeze , laughter, a heavy and deep cough, blowing of the nose , a blow on the head or low blood ...
