Abstract

Fourteen rabbits received an intravitreal iron foreign body and were treated with desferrioxamine. Their electroretinographic (ERG) values were recorded and compared with those of an untreated group. With desferrioxamine treatment a delay of the siderotic damage and preservation of better ERG potentials is observed. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
