How can histological techniques be used to study eye diseases?
Histological techniques, such as immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy, are invaluable tools for studying eye diseases. These methods allow for the visualization of cellular and subcellular structures, identification of specific proteins, and examination of tissue morphology. For example, in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), histology can reveal the presence of drusen deposits and changes in the RPE and Bruch's membrane.
