Modified fundus cameras have been used to measure conjunctival blood flow [28] and to measure blood oxygen saturation. [24] Fluorescein angiography has been used to study the blood flow of the bulbar conjunctiva and to differentiate the bulbar conjunctival and episcleral microcirculation. [29] [30] [31]
The macula responsible for central vision and the anterior part of the optic nerve are dependent on choroidal blood supply. [4] The structure of choroidal vessels can be revealed by optical coherence tomography, and blood flow can be revealed by Indocyanine green angiography, and laser Doppler imaging. [5]
Pericytes have the ability to alter local blood flow. The choriocapillaris is densest in the macular area, where it is the sole blood supply for a small region of the retina. The choriocapillaris is unique to the choroid and does not continue into the ciliary body. [5]
Intraocular hemorrhage (sometimes called hemophthalmos or hemophthalmia) is bleeding inside the eye (oculus in Latin).Bleeding can occur from any structure of the eye where there is vasculature or blood flow, including the anterior chamber, vitreous cavity, retina, choroid, suprachoroidal space, or optic disc.
Other causes include blunt or penetrating trauma to the eye. Risk factors include hypertension, diabetes, old age, and blood thinners. Subconjunctival bleeding occurs in about 2% of newborns following a vaginal delivery. The blood accumulates between the conjunctiva and the episclera. Diagnosis is generally based on the appearance of the ...
The goals of CVI treatment are to improve the blood flow through the leg veins, minimize symptoms and to prevent/alleviate complications such as leg ulcers. Treatment for CVI should be ...
The anterior ciliary arteries are seven arteries in each eye-socket that arise from muscular branches of the ophthalmic artery and supply the conjunctiva, sclera, rectus muscles, and the ciliary body. The arteries end by anastomosing with branches of the long posterior ciliary arteries to form the circulus arteriosus major.
With regards to the modalities of heat and cold, each works to modify the blood flow to the muscles and joints in the area applied, says Rahul Shah, M.D., board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon ...
