Abstract
Early degeneration of the rabbit retina after hemoglobin injection into the vitreous was studied by light and electron microscopy. Structural changes including a pyknotic change in rod nuclei and early rod degeneration were apparent three days after injection. Electron-dense bodies began to appear within the degenerating pigment epithelium cells on the seventh day. These bodies may be degenerating products of outer rod segments.
