Advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology of retinal ganglion cell death in glaucoma are providing important insights into the functional changes occurring in retinal ganglion cells in the early stages of the disease. These exciting new findings may help us develop psychophysical tests to monitor early retinal ganglion cell damage, possibly before neurons are committed to the process of cell death.
我们对青光眼视网膜神经节细胞死亡病理生理学的理解取得了进展,这为该疾病早期视网膜神经节细胞发生的功能变化提供了重要见解。这些令人振奋的新发现可能有助于我们开发心理物理学测试,以监测视网膜神经节细胞的早期损伤,或许在神经元进入细胞死亡过程之前就能做到。
