THE INFLUENCE OF RADIUM ON THE OCULAR TISSUE OF THE RABBIT. IV. ITS INFLUENCE ON THE UVEA, RETINA AND OPTIC NERVE
In the iris, congestion, sometimes miosis, exudate, and hemorrhage were observed immediately after the first irradiation. The effects were transitory and disappeared rapidly. When the irradiation was repeated, aggravation and recurrence were not observed. The minimum destruc tive dose was 240--400 mg hr in full-grown rabbits and 100--160 mg hr in infantile rabbits; the latter were more susceptible than the former. Irradiation through the conjunctival sac had more influence on the eyes than through the palpebra; however, on radiation with a dose of more than 400 mg hr no difference between the two was seen. Histologically, cell infiltration in the iris and ciliary body and hemorrhages into the ciliary body were observed: there was no marked change in the retinochoroid. (Abstr.
