Figure 1.

High thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) levels in vitreous humor of patients with synchysis scintillans as compared to other vitreoretinal diseases. Columns show means ± SEM of TBARS measured in vitreous humors of patients with idiopathic epimacular membrane (IEM; n = 12), macular hole (MH; n = 5), rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD; n = 4), and synchysis scintillans (SS; n = 16). Significant difference between SS and other patient groups is indicated by ∗∗∗, at p ≤ 0.001.
