New Paper Out Now! #openaccess Here we explore how viral pathogens may utilise nerves as a means of transport to reach the retina from the CNS and cause a direct infection in APMPPE/RPC - https://t.co/a8rsTJNX7H Thank you to all the coauthors

[Paul Steptoe @pauljsteptoe]

Is APMPPE really a primary pathology of the choriocapillaris? We demonstrate how evolving signs are observed in the retinal nerve fibre layer prior to the classical signs observed in the outer retina/choriocapillaris - https://t.co/a8rsTJNX7H
