Abstract
A method of intravitreous microdialysis in vivo is used to measure the vitreal concentration of catecholamines and their metabolites after l aser panphotocoagulation of rabbit retina. Noradrenaline, dopamine and dihydroxyphenylacetic acid could be measured. No significant immediat e effects of laser coagulation on their concentration could be demonst rated. After 4 days an increase in dihydroxyphenylacetic acid was obse rved, which subsided after 7 days. At that moment a slight increase of vitreous dopamine was noted.
