Background:

The human retina's complex physiology involves phototransduction and neuronal signaling.
Existing models often lack detailed biochemical and electrophysiological components or realistic geometry.

Purpose of the Study:

To create a comprehensive physiological model of the human retina.
To incorporate phototransduction, neuronal electrical coupling, and eye geometry into a unified framework.

Main Methods:

Developed a parabolic-elliptic system of partial differential equations based on generalized bi-domain equations.
Employed non-uniform finite differences for spatial discretization and an adaptive time-stepper with backward differentiation formula and inexact Newton method.
Validated the numerical method through a refinement study.

Main Results:

Numerical simulations accurately reproduced experimental findings like photoreceptor light desensitization and calcium buffering.
The model revealed an interplay between photoreceptor gap junctions and inner segment calcium concentration.
The model's accuracy and efficiency were confirmed.

Conclusions:

The developed model provides a robust tool for analyzing retinal function.
It has potential applications in analyzing retinal calcium imaging, designing electroretinograms and visual prosthetics, and studying ephaptic coupling.
