“…The accuracy and reproducibility of the method have been shown in several studies. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] Using LFCM, we recently showed breakdown of the BAB and presence of anterior chamber cells in Chinese patients with Fuchs syndrome. 7 The present study confirmed our previous observation in another group of Chinese patients with Fuchs syndrome using the same technique.…”

) were also significantly higher in Fuchs syndrome (5.09 ± 4.84) than in normal controls (1.14 ± 1.03, P ¼ 0.000). The flare values were positively correlated with the cell counts (r ¼ 0.331, P ¼ 0.001). Both flare values and cell counts were higher in eyes with keratic precipitates scored 2 þ or 3 þ as compared to those with a 1 þ score. Higher flare values and cell counts were also observed in eyes with a 2 þ or 3 þ iris depigmentation score as compared to those with a 1 þ score. No difference was found between flare values and cell counts and other parameters. Conclusion Breakdown of blood-aqueous barriers and increased cell counts are present in the affected eyes in patients with Fuchs syndrome. These changes are positively associated with the degree of keratic precipitates and iris depigmentation.

Aqueous flare and cells are the two inflammatory parameters of anterior chamber inflammation resulting from disruption of the blood-ocular barriers. When examined with the slit lamp, measurement of intraocular inflammation remains subjective with considerable intra- and interobserver variations. Laser flare cell photometry is an objective quantitative method that enables accurate measurement of these parameters with very high reproducibility. Laser flare photometry allows detection of subclinical alterations in the blood-ocular barriers, identifying subtle pathological changes that could not have been recorded otherwise. With the use of this method, it has been possible to compare the effect of different surgical techniques, surgical adjuncts, and anti-inflammatory medications on intraocular inflammation. Clinical studies of uveitis patients have shown that flare measurements by laser flare photometry allowed precise monitoring of well-defined uveitic entities and prediction of disease relapse. Relationships of laser flare photometry values with complications of uveitis and visual loss further indicate that flare measurement by laser flare photometry should be included in the routine follow-up of patients with uveitis.
