Iron is neurotoxic in retinal detachment and transferrin confers neuroprotection
Ocular fluids from patients with retinal detachment show iron accumulation, and transferrin can be used as a therapeutic adjuvant. In retinal detachment (RD), photoreceptor death and permanent vision loss are caused by neurosensory retina separating from

Advances in the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
The pathogenesis of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment depends on three factors, namely, retinal rupture, vitreous liquefaction and traction causing the retina to separate from the pigment epithelium, among which retinal rupture is the most important ...

Transthyretin levels in the vitreous correlate with change in visual acuity after vitrectomy [PDF]
Background/aim: Little is known about biochemical markers related to change in visual acuity after vitrectomy. The potential use of transthyretin (TTR), a carrier of the retinol/retinol-binding protein, as a biochemical marker protein, was investigated ...
