To simulate the hemorrhagic detachment stage of disciform macular degeneration [in humans], fresh autologous blood was injected into the subretinal space of albino rabbits and these hemorrhages were studied clinically with the ophthalmoscope and by light microscopy and EM. One hour after injection, retinal changes were minimal and limited to occasional photoreceptor edema. At 1 day, there was marked damage of the photoreceptor cells characterized by edema and disintegration of the photoreceptors and pyknosis of the outer nuclear layer. Some photoreceptors had been pulled off the retina by contraction or movement of the blood clot, or both. By 7 days, the photoreceptor cells were almost absent. Subretinal hemorrhage in rabbits led to irreversible retinal destruction within 24 h. The mechanism for destruction of the overlying retina probably consists of a combination of a diffusion barrier by the clot, mechanical damage to the outer segments by contraction of the clot and Fe toxicity.
