Author(s): Sushma Aharwal, Vishal Singh Rathore* and Susan Abraham
Background: Diabetic retinopathy is a vascular disorder affecting the microvasculature of the retina. It is caused by changes in the blood vessels of the retina. If untreated, it may lead to blindness which is usually preventable if retinopathy is diagnosed early and treated promptly. As the prevalence of diabetes is rising, the systemic complications that include retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, and involvement of the cardiovascular system are also increasing. Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in the world. Prevention of retinopathy needs early diagnosis. In ophthalmology, Color Doppler imaging is a new method that enables us to assess the orbital vasculature. It allows for simultaneous two-dimensional anatomical and Doppler evaluations of the retinal artery. Objectives: The study aims to evaluate the ocular blood flow in pa.. Read More»
