Abstract

The effects of subconjunctivally injected normal saline and hypertonic saline solution on the choroidal blood flow in albino rabbits were investigated. By the injection of 0.9% saline solution, no significant changes in the choroidal blood flow took place. Subconjunctival injection of 3% saline solution produced increase in the blood flow which continued for 30 minutes. The average increase was 22%. Hot dry compress by infra-red lamp for 10 minutes increased also the blood flow by 41 % which lasted for 20 minutes after cessation of hot compress.
