The microbiome exists in the neuroretina and choroid in normal conditions and responds rapidly to retinal injury
The neuroretina and RPE/choroid have diverse microbiomes under normal conditions. Their richness and evenness are relatively stable in the retina compared to those in the RPE/choroid. Retinal laser injury enriches <i>Faecalibacterium</i> and <i>Bifidobacterium</i> in ocular tissues, and these microbiotas may participate in retinal wound healing through modulating inflammation.
