The present study uses the angiographic method to visualize the intraocular venous circulation of the cat.

Nonradiographic injection techniques, previously employed in studies of the intrascleral vessels related to the anterior chamber angle^2-5 and the uveal circulation,⁶ can not be used in the intact living eye. The clinical ocular application of angiography is at present limited to the demonstration of the vessels of the orbit⁷ and, in some carotid angiograms, a fine crescent in the posterior part of the orbit which represents choroidal venous filling.^7,8 It has been reported that radiographs of rabbit eyes taken before and during carotid injection of thorium dioxide (Thorotrast) show "a difference" but no definite vessels.⁹ Also, . . .
