Caffeine’s effect on retinal vessel density
A study that explored the effects of caffeine on systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) and retinal vessel density (VD) assessed by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) found that 200 mg of caffeine elevated the BP after 2 hours but did not impact the retinal VD, according to first author Mitchell Jacobs, MD, from the Department of Ophthalmology and … [Read more...] about Caffeine’s effect on retinal vessel density
Study: Subtle eye movements optimize vision
Our ability to perceive visual detail begins with the photoreceptor cells in our eyes. A specialized region of the retina called the fovea is responsible for high-acuity vision, and within it, color-sensitive cone photoreceptors enable us to distinguish fine details.The density of these cones varies between individuals, influencing visual resolution. Additionally, our eyes make … [Read more...] about Study: Subtle eye movements optimize vision
