Retinal IR injury induced edema and neurodegeneration. A–D At the indicated times following IR injury, total retinal thickness and thickness of the inner and outer retinal layers were measured in situ using SD-OCT. Measurements were made at 4 compass points 350 μm from center of the optic nerve head and averaged. A Total retina spans from the inner limiting membrane (ILM) to the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). B Inner retina spans from ILM to the OPL. C Outer retina spans from the OPL to the RPE. Note that the y-axis scales are equal in (B) and (C). A total of n = 30 eyes/group were initiated at time zero but, due to cataract formation in some injured eyes, IR group size declined to 15 eyes/group at day 28. *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, and ***p ≤ 0.001 for IR versus sham by t test. D At the indicated times following IR injury, ongoing cell death was evaluated in Sham and IR-injured retinas using a DNA fragmentation assay with n = 6–8/group. *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, and ***p ≤ 0.001 for IR versus Sham by t test. E TUNEL staining and IHC of the RGC marker RBPMS was performed on flat-mounted Sham and IR retinas harvested at 1 day following injury
