Abstract:
The aim of the research was to determine, with new-generation fluorometer (Fluorotron Master), the factor of fluorescein leakage into the vitreous and to reveal, with the static perimeter (Humphrey's), the quantitative parameter of the visual field in retinal pigmentary dystrophy. The factor of fluorescein leakage into the vitreous was almost ten times higher in retinal pigmentary dystrophy and it indicated the damage of blood-retina barrier. The correlation between the factor of fluorescein leakage into the vitreous and the degree of visual field defect has not been found.
