Abstract
Endothelial permeability to fluorescein was measured as part of fluorophotometric studies of aqueous humor flow in 112 normal subjects whose ages span six decades. The permeability was 2.4 ± 0.9 × 10-4 cm/min (mean ± SD). Females had a slightly higher permeability than males. No correlation between age and permeability was noted. The precision of this method of measurement was estimated to be ± 22%.
