Retinal Detachment Model in Rodents by Subretinal Injection of Sodium Hyaluronate
Published on: September 11, 2013
Abstract:
From March 1983 to October 1985, the members of the Retina Service of the Wills Eye Hospital treated nine boxers with traumatic retinal injuries. Eight of these had retinal detachments requiring scleral buckling procedures. The ninth had a large tear without subretinal fluid that was treated with cryotherapy alone. In this article the authors describe the type and location of retinal injury, initial and follow-up treatment, and associated ocular findings and the mechanism of injury.

01:22Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways
At the molecular level, visual signals trigger transformations in photopigment molecules, resulting in changes in the photoreceptor cell's membrane potential. The photon's energy level is denoted by its wavelength, with each specific wavelength of visible light associated with a distinct color. The spectral range of visible light, classified as electromagnetic radiation, spans from 380 to 720 nm. Electromagnetic radiation wavelengths exceeding 720 nm fall under the infrared category, whereas...
