Blood flow, arterial velocity, and vascular diameter were measured in patients with retinal vessel occlusion before and after treatment, especially after light coagulation. The mean values in the patient group showed significantly reduced blood flow and velocity compared to the normal group. The mean group difference before and after therapy revealed that while there is an increase in blood flow after treatment, the normal value is not reached. Individual patient values indicated both increased and decreased blood flow and velocity after treatment as compared with the values before therapy. There are various stages in microcirculatory disease and the microcirculation also behaves differently after treatment, which could be observed by measurement in vivo of the physiological flow parameters.
