The aim of this study is to find a correlation between fluorophotometric data, diabetes duration and patient's age.
A group of 19 patients (38 eyes) aged 11-23 years with juvenile-onset, insulin-dependent diabetes, treated for 2-17 years were examined using ocular fluorophotometry. Visual acuity, anterior segment and fundus as well as IOP, fluoroangiography and opacimetry were also examined.
Anterior Chamber (AC) and Posterior Vitreous (PV) fluorescein concentration was higher in the group with mild background retinopathy (10 eyes) than in group with normal fundi (28 eyes).
Diabetes duration over 15 years increases the risk of the development of diabetic retinopathy and increases fluorescein leakage through the blood-retinal barrier in juvenile insulin-dependent diabetes patients.
