[Spectrophotometric studies for the demonstration of chromo-proteins and bilirubin in the eye (author's transl)].

Following intravenous injection we could demonstrate spectrophotometrically that in the rabbit chromo-proteins like hemoglobin and myoglobin as well as bilirubin are present in anterior chamber fluid, lens and vitreous body. We did not try yet to study the dynamics of these substances in relation to time and their quantitative distribution. Our findings, however, suggest a relationship between the concentration of these substances in the different parts of the eye and the serum. In lens, vitreous body and the anterior chamber fluid of patients dying with jaundice we also were able to demonstrate bilirubin spectrophotometrically.

[Haemoglobinanomalies in ophthalmological practice (author's transl)].

Several patients with different haemoglobinopathies are discussed that show various ocular changes as a result of these diseases. The ophthalmological findings range from a Sludge-phaenomenon in the conjunctiva to capillary thrombosis in the ciliary body with accommodoplegia and peripheral uveitis to arterial obliteration, arterio-venous anastomoses, neovascularisation of the retina as well as secondary retinal detachment. Possibilities of treatment of these changes and problems of prophylaxis are discussed.
