Vitreous fluidity in myopia.
Forth-eight eyes were examined to determine if degeneration and liquification of the vitreous could be determined by vitreous movement in subjects with myopia compared with subjects who had either emmetropia or hypermetropia. The difference in duration of vitreous movement for the myopes was significantly greater than that for nonmyopes (p less than 0.05).
