Abstract

Vitreous fluorophotometry was performed on 29 normal individuals to evaluate the state of the blood-retinal barrier with respect to age, blood pressure, and serum glucose. Fluorescein leakage into the vitreous was found in the absence of any disease. This leakage increased with increasing age and was minimally related to blood pressure and not at all affected by serum glucose or serum creatinine.
