Abstract
The retina is a unique site where the small blood vessels of the human vasculature can be directly and noninvasively visualized. As such, it offers an opportunity for detailed in vivo study of the structure of small arterioles and venules and their association with systemic disease processes such as hypertension and diabetes.This publication has 47 references indexed in Scilit:
