If there is information which I have not included yet which you would like included, then you can e-mail the information and the appropriate citation to lance@retina.anatomy.upenn.edu. Naturally, the same goes for inaccurate information.

Note: Some of the information included here is speculation and should not be taken as the ultimate truth. This is meant to be a starting place for the accumulation of ideas, not as a definition of the state of knowledge. As such, there may be errors and I strongly suggest reading articles to acquire the current state of knowledge.
