Difference between Human eye and Retinitis pigmentosa

Human eye vs. Retinitis pigmentosa

The human eye is an organ which reacts to light and pressure. Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a genetic disorder of the eyes that causes loss of vision.

Similarities between Human eye and Retinitis pigmentosa

Human eye and Retinitis pigmentosa have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Cone cell, Eye disease, Eye examination, Fovea centralis, Macula of retina, Macular degeneration, Ophthalmology, Photoreceptor cell, Retina, Rod cell, Visual acuity.

Cone cell

Cone cells, or cones, are one of three types of photoreceptor cells in the retina of mammalian eyes (e.g. the human eye).

Eye examination

An eye examination is a series of tests performed by an ophthalmologist (medical doctor), optometrist, or orthoptist assessing vision and ability to focus on and discern objects, as well as other tests and examinations pertaining to the eyes.

Fovea centralis

The fovea centralis is a small, central pit composed of closely packed cones in the eye.

Macula of retina

The macula or macula lutea is an oval-shaped pigmented area near the center of the retina of the human eye and some other animalian eyes.

Macular degeneration

Macular degeneration, also known as age-related macular degeneration (AMD or ARMD), is a medical condition which may result in blurred or no vision in the center of the visual field.

Ophthalmology

Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine and surgery (both methods are used) that deals with the anatomy, physiology and diseases of the eyeball and orbit.

Photoreceptor cell

A photoreceptor cell is a specialized type of neuroepithelial cell found in the retina that is capable of visual phototransduction.

Retina

The retina is the innermost, light-sensitive "coat", or layer, of shell tissue of the eye of most vertebrates and some molluscs.

Rod cell

Rod cells are photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye that can function in less intense light than the other type of visual photoreceptor, cone cells.

Visual acuity

Visual acuity (VA) commonly refers to the clarity of vision.

Human eye and Retinitis pigmentosa Comparison

Human eye has 124 relations, while Retinitis pigmentosa has 143. As they have in common 11, the Jaccard index is 4.12% = 11 / (124 + 143).
