Vitreous Chemistry Analysis

Completed

Conditions studied: Normal Volunteers

In brief

The aim of this study is to expand the understanding of the vitreous, its solute chemistry, and the normal relationship of that chemistry to the chemistry of the systemic circulation in humans. Sample human vitreous from patients undergoing vitrectomy surgery and compare to results of metabolic chemistry panel from subject. Allow the research team to extract .2ml sample of the .5ml - 1.0ml vitreous that is normally extracted during a routine undiluted vitreous biopsy, a standard procedure performed for various indications. Blood draw for metabolic chemistry panel (1-2 ml).
