  • Title: Vitreous fluorophotometry in juvenile diabetics after oral fluorescein.
    Author: Nuzzi G, Vanelli M, Venturini I, Bonacini M, Boselli E.
    Journal: Arch Ophthalmol; 1986 Nov; 104(11):1630-1. PubMed ID: 3778277.
    Abstract:
    Vitreous fluorophotometry was performed in young patients (8 to 19 years old) affected by insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, with no signs of diabetic retinopathy. Oral fluorescein was administered, and measures were used to prevent hypoglycemia during the examination. The results showed a breakdown of the blood-retinal barrier in nine (43%) of the 21 patients. The oral fluorescein method allows a satisfactory evaluation of ocular fluorescence profiles, with minimal risk of systemic side effects.
