[The role of the autonomic nervous system in regulating the hydrodynamics of the intact eye].

In cats, the low-molecular indicator: radioactive phosphorus, and the tonography revealed that the local application of acetylcholine accelerates the fluid exchange in the intact eye, considerably facilitating the outflow. Noradrenaline and the threshold stimulation of the cervical sympathetic nerve slow down the intraeye fluid exchange, decreasing the outflow. The data obtained suggest that the neural regulation of the eye hydrodynamics involves, mainly, a direct effect of the vegetative innervation on the eye drainage system.
