Abstract
- The retinal vein occlusion is one of the most common retinal diseases, and the establishment of animal model in rats will be a great help for further study. We occluded branch retinal veins with rose bengal dye injection followed by argon-green laser photocoagulation in albino rats. Retinal vein occlusion was maintained over 1 day in 35 eyes out of 47, maximally over 5 days. Retinal tissue damage was confined to the photocoagulated areas in most eyes and the loss of ganglion cells began when the occlusion persisted over 1 day. If the reproducibility is further increased, this will be a good animal model of retinal vein occlusion in albino rats.
