Abstract

The shape of a VFP measurement scan depends in a very complicated way upon the condition of the blood-retinal barrier and a variety of other factors, such as the elapsed time after administration of the dye, the manner of dye administration, the character of the vitreous, optical properties of the eye, and the design of the instrument. Existing schemes for analyzing vitreous fluorophotometry scans suffer from deficiencies in the ways they do, or do not, take these influences into account. We report the development of new methodology for scan interpretation. Improvements over existing analysis schemes are discussed.
