Figure 3.

Low catalase activity in aqueous and vitreous humors of patients with synchysis scintillans as compared to other vitreoretinal diseases. Columns show means ± SEM of catalase activities measured in aqueous (AH) and vitreous humors (VH) of patients with vitreoretinal diseases without synchysis scintillans, i.e., idiopathic epimacular membrane (IEM; n = 12), macular hole (MH; n = 5), rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD; n4), or patients with synchysis scintillans (SS; n = 16). Measurements were performed in duplicate. Significant differences are shown by ∗∗∗ at p < 0.001 between vitreous and aqueous humors, by ○○○ at p < 0.0001 between SS and any of vitreoretinal patient groups in the aqueous humor, and by ••• at p < 0.0001 between SS and any of vitreoretinal patient groups in the vitreous humor.
