Does an increase in superoxide dismutase ameliorate oxygen-induced retinopathy in transgenic mice?
The results suggest that high SOD activity protects neonatal mice against oxygen-induced retinopathy, and support the assumption that oxygen radicals are a major causative factor in oxygen-induced retinopathy.
In patients with clinically apparent unilateral pseudoexfoliation, the lens seems to be more mobile in the affected eye. This results in a shallower anterior chamber when the head is placed in a prone position. Whether this fact might potentially lead to transient pupillary block when engaging in activities such as facing down while reading warrants further study.
