Study Notes

Retinal Layers and Structure

  • The retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) forms the outermost layer of the retina.
  • The RPE is more adherent to the choroid than the rest of the retinal tissue.

RPE Characteristics

  • The RPE is pigmented in the tapetal fundus and can be seen clinically.
  • The RPE helps to phagocytose the dead photoreceptors.

Retinal Layers

  • The inner sensory retina contains more than nine layers.
  • The sensory retina or neuroretina is composed of layers 2 through 10 and is responsible for processing the neuronal signal or visual sensation.

Retinal Regions

  • The optic retina extends from the optic disc to the ora ciliaris retinae.

Fundus Appearance

  • The tigroid fundus refers to the visibility of the underlying choroid and sclera in the non-tapetal area where there is no pigment in the RPE.

Retinal Thickness

  • The retinal thickness is primarily influenced by the vascularity rather than the dominant type of photoreceptor.
