In vivo imaging of human retinal flow dynamics by color Doppler optical coherence tomography.

Abstract
RECENT ADVANCES in noninvasive and minimally invasive technology have paved the way for improved clinical evaluation of ocular hemodynamics in living patients. Physiologic changes of the retinal vasculature have been associated with several disorders, including diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration.1 It has been noted that these disorders may disturb pressure and metabolic autoregulation of oxygenated blood delivery to the retina, or conversely, disturbed autoregulation may accelerate visual impairment.2-6
