Effect of repeated anterior chamber perfusion on aqueous flow in the cynomolgus monkey

Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 1985 Jun;26(6):885-6.

Abstract

No differences were found between fluorophotometrically determined aqueous flow rates in cynomolgus monkeys having vs not having undergone prior repeated anterior chamber perfusion. This suggests that: repeated perfusion does not produce a progressive decline in the rate of aqueous formation; and the repeatedly perfused monkey eye can be validly used in studies of aqueous formation.
