Purpose The Stokes–Einstein equation predicts that diffusion is inversely correlated with viscosity of the medium. This predicts that diffusion fluxes should be lower in vitreous humour than in saline solution with lower viscosity. We test this hypothesis, which has implications for vitrectomy. Methods Diffusion cells were used, with a middle chamber filled with saline solution with different concentrations...
