Optic Nerve Crush Does Not Induce Retinal Ganglion Cell Loss in the Contralateral Eye
Our results corroborate that unilateral optic nerve injury elicits a microglial response in the uninjured contralateral eye but without RGC loss. Therefore, the contralateral eye should be treated separately and not as an ONC control.
