✦ Synopsis

Exclusion of extraocular variables facilitates neuropharmacological retinal experiments. Isolated tissue or organs such as arterially perfused mammalian eyes provide this advantage. Electrophysiology comprising field potentials (ERG and optic nerve response) and recordings from single cells is used to assess various levels of retinal information processing. Several directions of research using the perfused cat eye are indicated. Pharmacological studies are presented in a description of an approach to identify adrenergic mechanisms in the cat retina. Studies on effects of changes in physico-chemical parameters and on drug actions reveal a number of parallels to problems relevant in clinical eye research.

Changing flow rate (F) in arterially perfused cat eyes concomitantly alters the supply of 02 and greatly affects electrical signals: increasing F increases the standing potential (SP) and decreasing F induces the opposite. Corresponding effects on c-wave are more variable. To separate changes in su

The pH concentration strongly affects b- and c-waves of the vitreal direct coupled electroretinogram (DC/ERG) in the arterially perfused cat eye, in which acid-base balance can be changed temporarily excluding extraocular regulation (Niemeyer and Steinberg, 1984; Dawis et al., 1984, 1985; Niemeyer e

We operated on one hundred cases of pseudophakic retinal detachments with a reattachment rate of ninety-eight percent. Fifteen of the one hundred required more than one operation and all reoperations were associated with vitrectomy. Thirty-seven percent of all cases achieved good vision of 20/40 or
