Fluid and solute transport across the retinal pigment epithelium: a theoretical model
The retina is composed of two main layers—the neuroretina and the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)—that are separated by a potential gap termed the sub-retinal space (SRS). Accumulation of fluid in the SRS may result in a retinal detachment. A key function of the RPE is to prevent fluid accumulation...
