[The action of ethylenediaminetetraacetate on the retina. Electronmicroscopic study (author's transl)].
Electron microscopic investigations show that intravitreal application of EDTA causes destruction of the viteous body and damage in all layers of the retina. Therefore, it is concluded that it is useless to try prevention of metallosis of the eye by EDTA.
