A great deal of clinically relevant information is being obtained from studies of human donor eyes. Specially developed perfusion and staining techniques are being used to fix and label key cellular structures in the human eye.
Combined with state-of-the-art confocal microscopy techniques we are building a better picture of the vascular and neuronal components of the human eye and how these are affected by ageing and retinal disease. These ongoing studies have the potential to identify new mechanisms responsible for the sight threatening consequences of a range of retinal diseases.
