Effects of Photocoagulation on Intraretinal P<scp>o</scp>₂in Cat

Abstract

Previous measurements showed increased Po(2) in the preretinal vitreous of rabbits and pigs (but not cats) after photocoagulation of the outer retina. These intraretinal measurements in cats provide further evidence for a chronic increase in inner retinal Po(2) in lesioned areas during air breathing.
