Abstract

Vitreous fluorophotometry was performed on eight normal subjects to compare the outward and inward permeabilities of fluorescein into the vitreous. The results indicate that diffusion alone does not account for the outward flow of fluorescein in the vitreous. The possible underlying factors and significance of these findings are discussed.
