Intravitreal cupriferous foreign bodies: Electroretinograms and inflammatory responses

Abstract: This is a report on the effects of various equally sized copper alloys implanted in the vitreous body of 52 Wistar rats. The main results are as follows: (1) The alloy of 99.9% copper with 0.1% silver (A) destroyed the electroretinogram (ERG) faster than specially purified copper (B). In contrast, copper-zinc alloys (C and D) affected the ERG more slowly than B. This effect is more obvious in alloys containing a large amount of zinc (D). (2) The degree of complication in the anterior segment (iridocyclitis, co… Show more
