A Comparative Study of Retinal Function in Rabbits after Panretinal Selective Retina Therapy versus Conventional Panretinal Photocoagulation

Figure 5

(a, b) The photoreceptor inner segments were preserved, and the distal ends of the photoreceptor outer segments were slightly relaxed. The RPE layer proliferated focally along the SRT lesion, and Bruch’s membrane was intact. Histology of conventional laser lesions after 3 weeks. (c, d) The full-thickness structure of the retina involving the photoreceptors was disrupted and disorganized (magnification 200x; a, c) (magnification 400x; b, d) (red arrow, irradiated lesion).
