Abstract
⺠We examined ultrastructural changes in the human retina with aging and in diseases. ⺠Photoreceptor cells and the pigment epithelium alter significantly in both situations. ⺠The pigment epithelium-Bruch's membrane interface changes in many diseases. ⺠The inner retinal cells and blood vessels alter significantly in ischemia and injury. ⺠Animal models may provide answers to some of the existing problems of retinal diseases.
