Abstract
The outer part of the blood-retina barrier was most sensitive to light exposure (6000 1x, 6 h) during photodamage. It was manifested in hemodynamic disturbances, endothelial dysfunction, and focal death of the pigment epithelium. The photo effects increased during alloxan diabetes. The specific area of open vessels decreased, while the number of thrombotic vessels in the choroid increased. Administration of ascovertin improved hemodynamic parameters of the eye and decreased the specific area of focal damage.
