About this trial
This study was conducted to investigate the levels of ocular biomarkers from the patients with chorioretinal diseases including diabetic retinopathy, retinal vascular diseases, age-related macular degeneration (dry and wet), and retinal degeneration.
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
age over 20 years
patients requiring ophthalmologic treatments for different degrees of decreasing of visual acuity.
patients with chorioretinal diseases including diabetic retinopathy, retinal vascular diseases, age-related macular degeneration (dry and wet), and retinal degeneration.
control patients asking cataract surgery or vitrectomy for posterior segment nonproliferative disorders.
Disqualifiers
under the age of 20 years
patients that received any anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agent for proliferative disease before taking sample of aqueous humor
patients that did not signed the informed consent of the trial

Trial population
A total of 100 patients will be included. 50 patients with chorioretinal diseases including diabetic retinopathy, retinal vascular diseases, age-related macular degeneration (dry and wet), and retinal degeneration. and 50 control patients scheduled for pars plana vitrectomy for nondiabetic retinal disease or phacoemulsification.
