Intravitreal injection worsens outcomes in a mouse model of indirect traumatic optic neuropathy from closed globe injury.
Model: Air-blast induced indirect traumatic optic neuropathy from closed globe injury, two 15 psi blasts 0.5 s apart to the left eye daily for three days
A single intravitreal saline injection given one day after closed globe trauma reduced electroretinogram a-wave and b-wave amplitudes, lowered total optic nerve axon counts even in uninjured animals and increased degenerating axon profiles in injured animals. Retinal and optic nerve IL-1alpha and I…
