Abstract
In taking measurement of the outflow rate of aqueous humor with Fluorescein, the obtained value is influenced by various factors.
Taken up in the present study are questions such as the transfer mechanism of Fluorescein to the anterior chamber, the state of distribution of Fluorescein in the anterior chamber and the disparity in concentration of Fluorescein between the anterior chamber and the posterior chamber, with respect to the eyes of the rabbit.
Fluorescein is transferred to the anterior chamber by diffusion.
When the rabbit is at a rest position, the concentration is high on the sagittal place of the central part of the anterior chamber.
This condition will disappear with. the movement of the eyeball.
The concentration of Fluorescein in the anterior and posterior chamber does not always show the same conditions.
