Abstract
• Vitreous fluorophotometry was performed on eyes with three kinds of congenital stationary nightblindness: Oguchi's disease (two cases), X-linked congenital stationary nightblindness (two cases), and fundus albipunctatus (one case). The results were compared with the electroretinogram (ERG) and the electro-oculogram (EOG). In spite of the variable degree of abnormality of the ERG and EOG, all eyes showed normal values on vitreous fluorophotometry. These results strongly suggest that the blood-retinal barrier in congenital stationary nightblindness is intact and that the electrophysiological results and the functioning of the blood-retinal barrier do not correlate in these diseases.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
