Blood–retina barrier

STRUCTURAL MONOLAYER

— Polarized epithelium that gates nutrients, fluid, and immune traffic between choroid and photoreceptors while recycling visual chromophores.

Outer-segment phagocytosis

PHOTORECEPTOR SUPPORT

— Daily clearance and processing of shed outer segments — central to photoreceptor survival, metabolism, and retinal homeostasis.

Visual pigment recycling

VISUAL CYCLE

— Coordinates isomerization and transport steps that keep opsins photosensitive — a mechanistic anchor for degenerative retinopathy research.
