Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Florescein angiography
(Fluorescite 10% 5 ml Alcon Lab.)
intravenous administration (only once)
Duration of Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA) procedure: 10 minutes
Duration of intravenous fluorescein injection: 2 seconds
FFA procedure occurs after 10 seconds from intravenous fluorescein injection
Intervention code [1] 286948 0
Diagnosis / Prognosis
Comparator / control treatment
The measurements were done before and after the fluorescein angiography in the same group (diabetic patients)
This is a single group uncontrolled study
Control group
Uncontrolled

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 289336 0
Intraocular pressure
Intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements were done with the Pascal dynamic contour tonometer (Pascal DCT, Swiss Microtechnology AG, Port, Switzerland). This is a slit-lamp biomicroscopy mounted, self-calibrating, 7-mm tip diameter, and 1.2-mm pressure sensor diameter device.
