—We appreciate Dr Brubaker's interest in our article on the effect of continuous circular capsulorhexis and intraocular lens fixation on the blood-aqueous barrier. We agree that the measurement of concentration of aqueous protein would help us to understand the damage to the blood-aqueous barrier in eyes after surgery. Laser flare-cell measurement has been done in our patients 1 to 2 years after surgery. The results will appear in a separate article.

There are two reasons why we chose fluorophotometry. First, we would like to compare our results directly with those in the study of Miyake et al,¹ in which the result was opposite to ours, namely, fluorophotometry demonstrated a significantly higher permeability in out-of-the-bag fixations than in-the-bag fixations. Second, even if the concentration of a steady-state aqueous protein is independent of the volume of the anterior chamber, aqueous protein, with a molecular weight of more than 60 . . .
