“The eye is the window to the soul”–this age-old adage succinctly encapsulates the vital importance of the complex and organic structure of the eye and its involvement in the functionality of vision and perception.In most instances however,the eye and vision tend to be addressed as separate entities and the interrelation between form and function then gets neglected.As a result,we fail to acknowledge or recognize that this critical gap between the eye and vision hold the key to more efficient and effective diagnosis and treatment of common eye diseases and vision problems like diabetic retinopathy,age-related macular degeneration,cataract,and glaucoma.
