MATERIALS AND METHODSThe corneas of bullfrogs (Rana catesbeiana) were used for this study. The head of a decapitated frog was placed in a petri dish containing frog Ringer solution. The cornea, along with the iris and lens, was removed by making an incision around the globe about 1-2 mm posterior to the corneal-scleral junction. The lens and iris were removed from the cornea. A perfusion chamber (Fig. 1B) was placed in Ringer solution and the cornea was floated onto the contoured surface of the chamber. The chamber was then removed from the Ringer solution, and the cornea was tied securely with fine suture thread at the groove on the chamber. A black Plexiglas ring was placed over the edges of the cornea on to the shoulder of the chamber and a viscous mixture of mineral oil and Vaseline (about 15) was applied to the area between the ring and the cornea. This provided an electrical seal between the aqueous side and tear side of the cornea. A hydrostatic pressure of approximately 20 cmH&I was maintained on the aqueous side of the cornea, The in vitro chamber was then mounted in a tear fluid reservoir (Fig. IA), which was placed into the sample compartment of a spectrofluorometer. The aqueous side of the cornea was perfused at a rate of 2 ml/min with Ringer solution delivered by a Buchler peristartic pump. The chamber was immersed in a reservoir and a Ringer solution containing 4 pm of cyanine dye, diS-Ca-(5), was infused into the aqueous chamber for about 10
