Definitions:

Glaucoma

A group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often associated with increased intraocular pressure, leading to loss of vision if untreated.

Receptor Cells

Specialized cells that respond to specific types of stimuli, such as light, sound, or chemical substances.

Neural Responses

The reactions of nerve cells or neurons to external stimuli, including how they process and transmit information.

Retina

The light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye that contains photoreceptor cells, which convert light into neural signals for visual recognition by the brain.
