eye pigment responsible for sensing low
light situations) found in the retina
composed of retinal(active form of retina)
 The decreased amount of rhodopsin in the
eye implies that there is inadequate retinal
to bind opsin. Therefore night blindness
result.
RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA
A disorder in which the
rod cell in the retina
gradually lose their to
response to the light.
Patients suffering from
