Abstract
We found pigment alterations in the anterior segments of the eyes of patients with myotonic dystrophy. We therefore performed fluoro-photometry in a group of ten myotonic patients and the results were compared with those of a group of normal persons. The fluorescence levels in the aqueous and vitreous of the myotonic eyes appeared to be two or three times higher than in the normal eyes. This brings us to the conclusion that myotonic eyes have a defect in the blood-ocular barriers.Entities:
