Cone
One of the two light receiving retinal cells (the other is the rod) that is responsible for daylight vision (e.g., color vision, high visual acuity, bright light vision). The area of the retina that provides central or reading vision, known as the fovea, contains only cones.
Cone biopsy
Surgical removal of a cone-shaped section of tissue from the cervix for the treatment of cervical dysplasia.
Cone Dystrophy
Also sometimes referred to as cone degeneration. The cones of the eye degenerate over time leading to visual acuity between 20/50 and 20/200 – legal blindness. There may be a progressive vision loss, abnormal color vision and photophobia. No treatment is available, except for dark sunglasses for the photophobia. Patients with cone dystrophies and cone degenerations benefit for rehabilitation services.
Cone dystrophy
A disease of the cones, the specialized light-sensitive cells that act as photoreceptors in the retina of the eye, providing sharp central vision and color vision. The cone dystrophies are a form of genetic macular degeneration characterized by progressive deterioration of the cones that leads to the distinctive triad of loss of color vision, photophobia, and reduced central vision. Cone dystrophy genes have been mapped to chromosome regions 6p21.1, 6q25-q26, 17p12-13, and Xp21.1-p11.3. In region 6p21.1, mutations have been found in the gene that encodes GCAP1, a key component in the recovery of photoreceptor cells to the dark-adapted state after exposure to a light stimulus.
Cone opsin
Light absorbing molecule in cone cells.
Cone Rod Degeneration
Also called cone-rod dystrophy. Leads to a loss of visual acuity between 20/25 to 20/400 – legal blindness. First there is a loss of cone photoreceptors followed by a loss of rod photoreceptors. Visual fields may be restricted, abnormal color vision and photophobia. No treatment is available.
Cone snail
A fishing-eating snail (Conidae) that inhabits tropical coral reefs and produces toxins that immobilize their prey.
