Photo-induced damage to neurosensory retinal cells after preliminary X-ray irradiation.
Preliminary X-ray irradiation (5 Gr) enhances damages to neurosensory retinal cells by visible light (3500 lx, 48 h) in rats. This combined treatment caused early destruction of the external and preterminal processes, karyopyknosis and karyolysis of about 30% neurosensory cells followed by focal destruction of the corresponding retinal layers.
