Abstract
(1) The role of the central retinal artery in the blood supply of the optic nerve. (2) The existence of a central artery of the optic nerve. (3) The existence and extent of the anastomoses between the central retinal artery and the arteries surrounding the optic nerve. Francois and Neetens (1963), in their latest publication on the subject, have raised certain controversial issues which require comment for elucidation. Because of great variations in the pattern of the central retinal artery, as was pointed out in a previous publication (Singh and Dass, 1960b), it is imperative that the number of specimens examined by each worker in this field should be known so that appropriate significance can be given to their views. Table I (overleaf) briefly summarizes the material and methods employed by the various workers.
