Retinal Ganglion Cells Resistant to Advanced Glaucoma: A Postmortem Study of Human Retinas with the Carbocyanine Dye DiI

purpose. The present study was conducted to examine whether the morphology of the retinal ganglion cells is altered in advanced glaucoma. Perikaryal, axonal, and dendritic alterations were monitored in glaucoma-resistant retinal ganglion cells by postvitam application of the fluorescent dye DiI. methods. The retinas of four amaurotic glaucomatous eyes and four normal eyes enucleated after death were used in this study. The retinas were freed...
