Association of changes of retinal vessels diameter with ocular blood flow in eyes with diabetic retinopathy

Abstract We investigated morphological changes of retinal arteries to determine their association with the blood flow and systemic variables in type 2 diabetes patients. The patients included 47 non-diabetic retinopathy eyes, 36 mild or moderate nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (M-NPDR) eyes, 2...
