Abstract
• Alterations in retinal blood flow during the progression of diabetic retinopathy were studied using the dye-dilution technique. Mean fluorescein circulation times were measured in retinal arteriovenous segments with a two-point fluorophotometer in 48 diabetic patients and 20 normal controls. Monochromatic fundus photographs were used to determine vessel diameters. Segmental blood flow (SBF) increased with the progression of background diabetic retinopathy. In patients with distinct capillary closure, SBF was significantly higher than normal values.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
