title: [Aggravating action of oxygen in light injury to the retina in the white rat].
abstract: Rhodopsin concentration and "a"-wave ERG decrease, depending on illumination in the range of 360-380 nm have been investigated in albino rats. The dose of 1.8 J/cm2 proved sufficient for a decrease of "a"-wave ERG by 70% and for the reduction in rhodopsin concentration by 80%. The substitution of the air for O2 (1 or 2.5 ata) resulted in a considerable increase of photodamage of the retina.
