Ocular Clocks: Adapting Mechanisms for Eye Functions and Health
Eye’s Internal Clocks and How They Adjust to Support Vision and Eye Health

Abstract
A series of genes are rhythmically expressed in the retina, indicating specific functions under circadian control.
- Circadian clocks in the retina and eye synchronize with the day/night cycle to optimize light detection and processing.
- Knockout studies show that the directly influences how the retina processes light information.
- Recent findings suggest the circadian clock is involved in both the development and aging of the retina.
- and are key components, serving as both inputs and outputs for the circadian clocks in the retina.
- The retina plays a significant role in regulating phase resetting for other eye tissues, such as the retinal pigmented epithelium.
