Abstract
In response to primary and recurrent RD, human photoreceptor cells follow a pattern of apoptosis that is similar to that seen in animal models of RD. This study suggests that photoreceptor cell apoptosis may be one of the causes of reduced vision after RD, especially those that involve the macula. Drugs that inhibit photoreceptor apoptosis may help improve the final visual prognosis of patients with RD.
