Conjunctival capillary fragility: a preliminary study.

Conjunctival capillary fragility (CCF) and skin capillary fragility (SCF) were studied by a negative-pressure suction cup method in 25 normal subjects and 38 diabetic patients with diabetic retinopathy. The CCF was significantly higher (P less than .001) in patients with diabetic retinopathy than in normal subjects; there was no significant difference in the SCF.
