Hi There,

I had an accident about a month ago and as a result the eye doctor said that I had damaged some of the photoreceptors in the macular of my right eye and there is nothing that he can do to fix my eye. I still have good peripherial vision and cbut have lost my vision for very fine details such as letters and words. The eye doctor said that I will learn to adjust in time.

I just wanted to know why can't anything be done to repair photoreceptors in my eye? What are photoreceptors exactly, are they nerve cells?

Thanks a lot

Denise
