title: Factors affecting vitreous fluorescence.
abstract: A variety of mechanical (intensity of the light source, the width and the angle of the exciting source) and physiological factors (retinal pigmentation, vitreous fluorescence) and many systemic factors affect the results of vitreous fluorophotometry. These factors are discussed with respect to identifying those that are inconsequential and those that are significant. Methods to compensate for the important factors are described.
