Adaptive optics-assisted identification of preferential erythrocyte aggregate pathways in the human retinal microvasculature.

PURPOSE: To characterize human parafoveal blood flow using adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (AO-SLO). METHODS: In 5 normal subjects, erythrocyte aggregate distributions were analyzed on 3 different days. Erythrocyte aggregates were described as a "dark tail" in AO-SLO. The cha...
