Abstract
Vitreous fluorophotometry was performed on 63 patients undergoing cataract extraction. Pre- and postoperative studies demonstrated that this procedure always induces alterations in the blood-aqueous barrier. A correlation was found between the degreee of this alteration and the frequency of cystoid macular edema.
