Abstract
ABSTRACT
The same quantity of a fluorescein labelled dextran was injected into the vitreous humor of 5 rabbits; in one eye, dissolved in 10 μl solution and in the other, 100 μl. The level of fluorescence in the two eyes was compared a few days later and found to average only 12% less with the larger volume.
It is concluded that regurgitation through the needle hole can be ignored in spite of the very high intraocular pressure created by the 100 μl injection.
