Two months later, the retina was examined for damage using hematoxylin-eosin staining. A, representative images of the retina; B, comparison of the cell layer thickness of the retina. The histogram shows the average of the thickness of the retina cell layers after hematoxylin-eosin staining (nā€Š=ā€Š4 for rats, nā€Š=ā€Š16 for retina slices from each rat retina).
