Spectrophotofluorometric determination of catecholamine in aqueous humor was made. It was demonstrated that the mucosaccharide in aqueous humor did not affect the recovery of catecholamine, at the same time it was shown that vitamin C co-existing with catecholamine did not interfere with the intensity of fluorescence of THI formed in the eluate unless vitamin C content in aqueous humor exceeds of 0.8mg. Catecholamine in aqueous humor was only determinable at concentrations higher than 5μg/L. It was noted that the concentration of catecholamine in aqueous humor was much higher than that of serum and that it was not affected by changes in blood level provided that sympathetic nerve control was maintained in the eyes.
