Project Details
Description
Vitreous fluorophotometry has been performed in patients with
diabetes mellitus without retinopathy, patients with diabetes
mellitus with nonproliferative retinopathy, and normal volunteer
subjects, age- and sex-matched to the patients. A new method for
evaluating blood retinal barrier permeability to fluorescein and
diffusivity of fluorescein in the vitreous has been developed. The
amount of fluorescein leakage into the vitreous of patients has
been compared to that of the normal subjects. Correlations with
other features of diabetes, such as the quality of diabetic
control, the existence of subclinical neuropathy and nephropathy,
and other complications were sought.
