Abstract
Ironions destroy the retinal pigment epithelium and, consequently, the photoreceptors. They may originate from general siderosis, erosion of foreign intraocular bodies, or from haemolysing erythrocytes. Since Karpe’s investigation (1948), we know that the destruction of the retina by ironions, deriving from intraocular splinters, has a slow progression. Thus, the function of the retina may easily be controlled by subjective tests and infrequent ERG-recordings.
