Data are expressed as means ± SD. The changes of electroretinograph components in SD rats that were administrated with HRS before light exposure (prevention group) and after light-induced damage for the following 5 days (treatment group) were recorded from right eyes of each rat, while the control group data came from unexposed eyes. *significant among the four groups, P < 0.001, **P < 0.01.
