Changes in Retinal Function and Cellular Remodeling Following Experimental Retinal Detachment in a Rabbit Model

Figure 1

WDS measurement. Representative ERG traces (dark adapted, 10 cds/m²) of the same eye before (solid line) and 7 days postretinal detachment (dashed line). The traces are aligned at the b-wave peaks for ease of comparison; therefore the baseline (i.e., zero μV) value of the vertical axis is not designated. One vertical increment = 10 μV. The WDS difference (vertical dashed arrow) is defined as the amplitude difference between the b-wave peak and the WDS peak. In many operated eyes, in which the WDS was abolished, the WDS was set as the recorded potential measured at the implicit time of the baseline WDS (designated with asterisk). Δ = difference; WDS = wavefront of the descending slope; RD = retinal detachment.
