| Objective. To report on a new technique for examining aqueous humour.
Participants. Aqueous humour samples obtained from 198 patients (cataract: n=66 eyes; age-related macular degeneration: n=66; diabetic macular edema: n=66) were in vitro examined by mid infrared spectroscopy. After training and validating the technique, 66 samples were taken for the final independent prediction.
Results. In computerized analysis of the spectrometric data, 22 (100%) cataract eyes were diagnosed as cataract group, 17 (77%) diabetic macular edema eyes were diagnosed as diabetic macular edema group, and 14 (64%) eyes with age-related macular degeneration were diagnosed as age-related macular degeneration group. Mid infrared spectrometry could statistically significantly (p=0.004) differentiate between the three study groups.
Conclusions. Mid infrared spectroscopic examination of aqueous humour may be able to differentiate eyes with cataract, age-related macular degeneration or diabetic macular edema.
