Comparison Between Histology, Funduscopy and Densitometry for Assessment of Photochemical Damage Thresholds

Abstract

The main theme of the thesis of Kremers (1989) was: Can we possibly attribute the distinction between two classes of experimental data on photochemical retinal damage to differences in experimental techniques? So far, neither field width, nor anesthesia has proven to give a cue. Rapp et al. (1989) and Van Norren and Schellekens (1990) have recently added animal model as an unlikely explanation for the class distinction, by finding Ham class (earlier called class II) damage in rat. Hitherto only Noell class (class I) damage had been found in this species. In this report damage assessment technique is explored as a relevant experimental parameter.
