Liposome-bound cyclosporine: retinal toxicity after intravitreal injection

Int Ophthalmol. 1988;12(2):105-7. doi: 10.1007/BF00137134.

Abstract

The retinal toxicity of intraocular liposome-bound cyclosporine was studied in albino rabbits by means of electrophysiology and histopathology. During a followup period of one month, no histopathological or electroretinographic changes were noted using concentrations of 100, 200 and 500 micrograms injected intravitreally.
