Intra-Retinal Visual Cycle Required for Rapid and Complete Cone Dark Adaptation

Daytime vision is mediated by retinal cones which, unlike rods, remain functional even in bright light and dark-adapt rapidly. These cone properties are enabled by rapid regeneration of their pigment. This in turn requires rapid chromophore recycling which may not be achieved by the canonical retina...
