The average wall thickness, with hypertension, was 18.7 µm, and the wall-to-lumen ratio was 0.44, both bigger than normal.Conclusion: AO-SLO enabled us to evaluate the retinal wall thickness in the hypertensive patient. The arterial walls were thickened compared with normal. AO-SLO may facilitate future noninvasive study of arterial walls in human medicine.
