Amounts of microvesicles and exosomes in different retinal diseases. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) were isolated from the aqueous humor of patients with eye diseases, including cataracts, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV), and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO), and analyzed using nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA). (A) The results showed the amounts of EVs in the aqueous humors. The EVs were classified into (B) exosomes (size of 0–120 nm) and (C) other microvesicles (MVs; size of 120–1000 nm). The data are expressed as the mean ± SE of 6–7 samples per group. * p < 0.05 compared to the cataract group.
