Abstract
Abnormal blood flow in the retinal vascular system is symptomatic of many ocular and systemic diseases. Blood flow is also an important indicator of the effectiveness of panretinal photocoagulation used in the treatment for proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Many methods of monitoring retinal blood flow have been developed, but laser Doppler velocimetry best satisfies the criteria of accuracy, sensitivity, and noninvasiveness.
