Rod photoreceptor activation and deactivation in early-stage diabetic eye disease

ConclusionsOnly phototransduction sensitivity was abnormal in this sample of diabetic subjects. The normal deactivation kinetics suggests that circulating rod current is normal. These findings begin to constrain possible explanations for abnormal rod function in early diabetic retinal disease.
