Quantitative Assessment of the Human Retinal Microvasculature With or Without Vascular Comorbidity [Retina]

Conclusions.
Cardiovascular comorbidities may be associated with changes to the capillary density within the human retinal microvasculature, before the manifestation of known ocular diseases. These differences in capillary density may have important correlations with neuronal function and facilitates the basis of understanding pathogenic mechanisms in retinal vascular disease.
