Temporal Frequency Abnormalities in Early-Stage Diabetic Retinopathy Assessed by Electroretinography.

abstract：PURPOSE:Lenses from selenite-treated animals develop reversible "cold cataract" at a lower temperature than is required for lenses from age-matched control animals. This unexplained, stabilized phase transition is readily observed in intact lenses 36 to 48 hours after treatment and occurs in lenses before the appearanc...
