Abstract

The vitreous fluorophotometric examinations were used in nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy to recognize early diabetic macular edema. Thanks to additional fixation light, axial and para-axial fluorophotometry in patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy was achieved (Fluorotron Master, Coherent). The angle of deviation from the foveal scan (f) was 10 degrees in temporal (t) and nasal (n) directions. In case of non clinically significant macular edema, the posterior vitreous penetration ratio (PVPR) in the foveal scan (f) was significantly higher (p < 0.05) than in the other results (trend PVPRt < PVPRf > PVPRn).
