Abstract

The retina and optic nerve are among the most metabolically active tissues in the body, and their function depends on healthy mitochondrial activity. In many optic neuropathies (from glaucoma to hereditary optic atrophies), disrupted metabolism and oxidative stress precede the loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Metabolic imaging – techniques that visualize cellular energy states in vivo – thus holds great promise in ophthalmology.
