Sildenafil-evoked photoreceptor oxidative stress in vivo is unrelated to impaired visual performance in mice.

<h4>Purpose</h4>The phosphodiesterase inhibitor sildenafil is a promising treatment for neurodegenerative disease, but it can cause oxidative stress in photoreceptors ex vivo and degrade visual performance in humans. Here, we test the hypotheses that in wildtype mice sildenafil causes i)...
