Authors evaluated retinal toxicity produced by intraocular injection of kainic acid in 10 ducks to provide further informations on the kainic acid induced retinal lesions in the avian species. By 8 hrs after injection there were severe vacuolar degenerations in the inner plexiform layer and the inner portion of the inner nuclear layer; by 24 hrs after injection many of the cells exhibited pyknotic nuclei in the inner nuclear layer; by 48 hrs after injection the reduction in the thickness was apparent in this layer because of the partial loss of the pyknotic cells. By 96 hrs there were only a few cells in the center and inner protion of the inner nuclear layer; by 10 days there was a conspicuous decrease in the thickness of the inner nuclear layer and the inner plexiform layer
