Autofluorescence of the human diabetic lens in vivo.
We studied the in vivo measurements of the autofluorescence of the clear lens in 80 juvenile diabetics and 25 young healthy subjects. When the diabetes was of seven years' duration or more, no overlap with the control subjects was found. The pathologic autofluorescence of the diabetic lens showed a positive correlation with age and the duration of diabetes.
