A method of vitreous surface whole mount preparation in rabbits is presented. Best results have been achieved with alcohol-ether fixation and PAS staining. The distribution of cells (“hyalocytes”) in the normal vitreous demonstrates large deviations with a maximal cell content in the lower half of the globe in the zonular region, a minimal cell content in the region of the equatorial retina in the upper half of the globe and an intermediate content in the posterior region. Following photocoagulation the number of cells on the vitreous surface increases considerably after the first postoperative day and decreases slowly after the 15th day to a level slightly above normal after one month. The cell rise takes place around the area of photocoagulation and in the corresponding zonular area. Morphologically 75% to 90% of the new cells as well around the area of photocoagulation as in the zonular region cannot be differentiated from normal “hyalocytes”. This and along with the finding of mitotic activity in these cells is presumptive evidence that a real proliferation of hyalocytes may take place. This is of interest in regard to the pathogenesis of postcoagulative epiretinal fibroplasia as observed in man.
