What is the pH of vitreous humor and how does it change with diabetes or other retinal disorders?

The vitreous humor of the eye has an average pH of 7.29 which is just slightly alkaline. Diabetes characteristically causes an abnormal growth of blood vessels in the eye which can result in bleeding into the vitreous humor, which will lower the pH (although the pH is not the problem, it is the opacity of the blood which obscures vision).

What are the steps in photo reception?
A photon strikes a rhodospin molecule in the membrane disk and when the photon is absorbed a change in the retinal component takes place which activates opsin. Then bleaching occurs in which rhodopsin breaks down into retinal and opsin. The retinal has to be converted back to its original shape in order to recomibine with opsin, which occurs by ATP. Since that happens recovery has to happen where opsin and retinal become one again to recombine into rhodospin in which the arrival of that photon produces an actional potential and begins an impulse along the optic nerve. :)
