Dynamics of retinal degeneration after laser treatment. (A–F) Rabbit retina in the untreated control area (A), and at different time points (1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months) after treatment (B–F). Most of the photoreceptor nuclei are already lost by 1 week, and the rest slowly disappear over the 3-month follow-up period. Although the inner retina appears wavy, the number of cells in the inner retinal layers seems to be preserved even at late stages. (G) Number of cells in ONL and INL over time after lasering. Unlike with subretinal implants, approximately 20% of the ONL cells are still present at 3 months.
