Abstract
Visual stimulation-induced increase in the metabolic activity of retinal neurons leads to temporary vasodilation of retinal blood vessels and an increase in the retinal blood flow, which is often referred to as functional hyperaemia. Neurodegenerative retinal diseases such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy have been known to cause progressive damage to the retinal morphology, blood perfusion and retinal blood flow, and eventually lead to blindness. In this study, we utilize a combined OCT+ERG system to investigate functional hyperemia in the human retina.
