Macular blood flow measured by blue field entoptic phenomenon.
A measurement system for macular blood flow using the blue field entoptoscope and a microcomputer was devised by Riva & Petrig in 1980. However, there have been difficulties in applying their system to some clinical cases, especially when subjects are aged and their responses are not reliable. A modified method suitable even for such cases is presented.
