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 volunteers

Qualifiers

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

patients with intraocular inflammations or infections that requiring any pharmaceutical agent

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.
