Measurements from frontal sections rather than sagittal sections were used and the tapetal periphery was taken to represent the limits of the
visual cells and therefore define the width of the retina.
AMD progresses with death of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), a dark color layer of cells which nourishes the
visual cells in the retina.

Zinc is an important trace element found in relatively high concentration in the pigment epithelium and
visual cells of the vertebrate retina (1).
