The pressure dependency of aqueous humor formation in the anesthetized cat.
In cats anesthetized with pentobarbital Na, a highly significant correlation was found between the rate of aqueous humor production and eye arterial perfusion pressure (blood pressure minus intraocular pressure). The filtration coefficient for water was 0.312 microliter min-1 mm Hg-1. This value is not significantly different from those reported earlier for enucleated, arterially perfused eyes of the same species.
