文摘This paper maintains that when photons enter the pupil and reach the Inner Limiting Membrane (ILM), they are reflected onto a point or centroid of the vitreous body, which could be the lens, to be transmitted by the Muiller cells to the Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE) hexagonal cells, where an almost complete image is formed in each of them, overlapping with the adjacent images, to be carried subsequently by each of the ganglion cell axons to a place where the single image we are aware of is formed. This process calls for a high degree of control and coordination, which must be effected by the horizontal, amacrine, and interplexiform cells, gap junctions and the feedback provided from the V1 area to the Lateral Geniculate Nucleus (LGN). But, as the ILM covers the optic disc but not the fovea, the latter must produce the blind spot and the rays reflected radially from the centroid must have the same centre as the Muller cells in order to be able to channel them to the RPE cells.
